Title: East Parade, Keighley
Post by: dawnh on Thursday 17 July 14 20:57 BST (UK)

Hi there!

My friend has a business, located at 119 East Parade in Keighley. She/we were hoping to find out some of the history of the building. I was hoping some of you lovely people may have some pointers on where to start looking? Or any ideas what the building was used as?

Many thanks in advance,

Dawn  :)

Hi,

On the 1901 census 119 East Parade is recorded as unoccupied  ::) So no help there!

Hi,

Keighley library might have some old street directories.
