Keighley's Aylesburys

One lovely Sunday morning, I set off to find a brace of Aylesburys.

The journey was relatively uneventful. The soundtrack of Foo Fighters, Faithless and Pendulum provided speed and swiftness to the day.

Approaching Keighley, my Sat Nav took me down a steep, narrow, cobbled lane. Which was a bit of a surprise.


Aylesbury Street and Back Aylesbury Street, are parallel roads, one with some houses, which can be accessed from the front or back, depending which street you approach the houses.




The collection of road names around Aylesbury give some clues as to it's origin. Eaton, Hemsby, Caister have several possible links. Names of people, possibly. Names of places, especially country houses or castles. One man's house is his castle, but in Keighley, his road is his castle too.

I then headed to Cliffe Castle Museum. Full of fun exhibits and furniture, rocks, taxidermy, art, a great variety of stuff.

Overall a pleasant day out.
