Re: Run Down?

It beggars belief that the Victorians could build fine public buildings which showed such pride in the municipality. What is really needed in the case of the Mechanics , the Old School , and most of all the Clock Tower, is a campaign for the full restoration of them all. After all the most significant views of Keighley always show the Square and the old Clock Tower. Its the first thing that comes to mind .What a project that would be .

Re: Run Down?

Mike`s suggestion is right. But will the powers that be in Bfd. concur? I think not.No doubt whatever happens to the site in the future will be wrong for KLY.as we knew it.As they say "onwards and upwards" but in the case of this town will this be the way forward?
