revisiting House names

I've been looking for the thread regarding House names but can't find it. Did we reach a final agreement on the House that was designated with the purple colour?
Lonsdale, Longden, Longsden???
I was with my good mate Tony Woodwiss yesterday and he swore he was in Lonsdale. He was amazed when I told him that I was sure this site had determined that it was actually Longden.

If you type Longden in the Search box a number of posts will come up including this, which seems to settle it --

Re: Allocation to Houses

To settle the controversy over spelling.

Look at the foundation stone outside Keighley Library.

"This stone laid by Sir Swire Smith, August 9th 1902".

In the top left hand corner it says

"Borough of Keighley"

H.C.LONGSDON. J.P. Mayor.

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 52-57

Re: revisiting House names

Thanks Paul,
considering the time I spend at this site, one would have thought I'd have spotted the 'search' button by now!!

This is the 3rd attempt to send this reply, because quite often I find it difficult to read the 'code' with those white specks in the background. Can we not have that item displayed more clearly?

Here goes again!
