Shipley is a town and commuter-suburb in the Metropolitan District of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, north of Bradford. Before 1974 Shipley was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The town forms a continuous urban area with Bradford.
Shipley is located at an important crossing of the River Aire, where the route from Otley to Bradford crosses the route from Skipton to Leeds. It is sheltered by the millstone crags of Wrose and Windhill to the east, and to the north by Baildon and Hawksworth Moors. Development in Shipley grew upwards and outwards from the crossroads at Fox's Corner, named after the Fox and Hounds public house that once stood there.
The village of Saltaire located in Shipley is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site incorporating the Victorian era Salts Mill and associated residential district. Located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal the model village was planned by industrialist Sir Titus Salt as a processing facility for alpaca woollen cloth and as residential accommodation for his workforce. Salts Mill is no longer used for textile production, but now contains the 1853 Gallery, housing many works by the artist David Hockney, a variety of shops, restaurants and local businesses, including Pace Micro Technology. Salts Mill is accessed via the nearby Saltaire railway station and together with the stone built terraced houses, ornate Victorian era civic buildings and Roberts Park, draws significant numbers of tourists to the area.
To the north across the River Aire, is Shipley Glen ( glen refers to the little valley beneath a ridge). It has long been a popular beauty spot, and in 1895 the Shipley Glen Tramway was built to carry visitors up to the top. The tramway has weathered periods of neglect and closure, but in 2012 it ran most weekends through the summer, staffed by volunteers.
The Bradford to Bingley Road was constructed in the 1820s and with Otley Road and Saltaire Road form a triangle framing Shipley centre. They connect the town to Bradford, Leeds and the Airedale towns. There is a small bus station in Shipley Market Place. Shipley railway station has an unusual triangular layout, serving trains on the Skipton to Leeds line, the Leeds to Bradford Forster Square line, and the Bradford to Skipton/Ilkley lines. Saltaire railway station, opened in 1984 on the Setttle-Carlisle Line, serves the heritage village of Saltaire. Long-distance trains run south to London King's Cross and north to Carlisle, while local trains connect the town with Leeds, Bradford and Skipton.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal was once an important navigation linking Shipley to the wider world. The Skipton to Shipley section was completed in 1773 and in 1774 a branch was extended to Bradford. Wharves were established on the north side of Briggate. The Bradford branch was filled in during the 1920s. The canal is used for pleasure cruising. Trams ran along Bradford Road to the south and Saltaire Road to the north and between Baildon Bridge and the Branch.

Places to see in ( Haworth - UK )
Places to see in ( Haworth - UK )
Haworth is a village in West Yorkshire, England, in the Pennines 3 miles southwest of Keighley, 10 miles west of Bradford and 10 miles east of Colne in Lancashire. The surrounding areas include Oakworth and Oxenhope.
Haworth is a tourist destination known for its association with the Brontë sisters and the preserved heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. Haworth is in the Worth Valley amid the Pennines. It is 212 miles (341 km) north of London, 43 miles (69 km) west of York and 9 miles (14 km) west of Bradford.
Tourism accounts for much of the local economy, with the major attractions being the heritage railway and Brontë Parsonage Museum. In Haworth there are tea rooms, souvenir and antiquarian bookshops, restaurants, pubs and hotels including the Black Bull, where Branwell Brontë's decline into alcoholism and opium addiction allegedly began. Haworth is a base for exploring Brontë Country, while still being close to the major cities of Bradford and Leeds.
Haworth's traditional events were an annual service at Haworth Spa and the rush bearing. Spa Sunday died out in the early 20th century and the rush bearing ceremony has not been held for many years. A modern event organised by the Haworth Traders' Association is Scroggling the Holly which takes place in November.
Haworth railway station is part of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic preserved steam railway. The 43 miles (69 km) long Brontë Way leads past Lower Laithe Reservoir, Stanbury to the Brontë waterfalls, the Brontë Bridge and the Brontë Stone Chair in which (it is said) the sisters took turns to sit and write their first stories. It then leads out of the valley and up on the moors to Ponden Hall (reputedly Thrushcross Grange in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights) and Top Withens, a desolate ruin which was reputedly the setting for the farmstead Wuthering Heights. Top Withens can also be reached by a shorter walking route departing from the nearby village of Stanbury.
Haworth is served by Keighley Bus Company rural bus service which provides links to the main local town of Keighley and the local villages of Oxenhope, Stanbury, Oakworth and Denholme. There is also a service to Hebden Bridge. Evening and Sunday services are partly paid for by Metro. Central North Street Car Park Haworth, formerly Changegate Car Park, has been subject of a Channel 4 television documentary The Yorkshire Clamper, regarding their tactics.

Saltaire - UNESCO World Heritage Site
A tour of the UNESCO World Heritage site in Saltaire, near the city of Bradford in the UK. Saltaire is a model village built for the workers of a nearby textile mill, and was intended to provide them with good clean housing, sanitation, recreational facilities, medical treatment and education for worker's children.
It's a beautiful little spot, and I was very happy to wander around enjoying the atmosphere. Some of the Industrial Revolution sites in the UK can be a bit hit and miss, so I'm glad this one was a hit!

Abandoned Baildon Bank Mine and Quarry Exploration - First Walkthrough
Join me as I explore an old stone mine on Baildon Bank (north of Bradford) overlooking Airdale.
The area has Rough Rock and Rough Rock Flag sandstone layers which were deposited around 300 million years ago by flowing water (large estuary?) and being exposed along a 1km strip have been extensively quarried for building materials. As well as workings on the surface the rock was also mined underground. The rock was variable quality with lesser quality rock being used for stone bricks, kerbs etc. and high quality flagstone used for flooring and other larger pieces. Fossilised plants and trees are found were found in some rocks, which were discarded because they weaken the structure.
The cliffs along the bank are popular with climbers.
The mines were abandoned over 100 years ago and the land was sold to Bradford Corporation in 1899 (the local authority - now Bradford Metropolitan District Council) by the Lord of the Manor and the entrances were blasted shut and the site partially filled in and levelled.
!!!Mines are dangerous places and should not be explored!!!!, do so at your own risk. In this mine the 2-3m drop from the passage from the outer entrance cave to the first chamber is probably the most dangerous part (and could be difficult to get out again), although there is also a risk of falling rocks and collapse in the rest of the mine. It is unclear to me if all of the large boulders inside are a result of parts of the roof falling over time, or if they fell when the mine was blasted to seal it, certainly in its present state it is hard to see flat floor in most of the chambers.
I haven't found much detail on the quarry and mine on the internet and haven't seen any other videos of anyone getting further into the mine than the outer cave. The chambers are dark and large and so are hard to light for filming.
It's hard to get a picture of the layout from the video but as a basic description from memory - there is an outer cave with a couple of (crawling) ways down into a slightly larger cave/chamber: a steeper descent from the left or a junk strewn gentler slope on the right. From that chamber there is a short passageway off to the left leading to the first large chamber (30mx6mx6m?? - I am terrible at estimating distances) there are a further one/two chambers in line going on from the end of this and turning left in the middle chamber is an entrance to another chamber to the right running parallel with the initial three, and a blocked passage to the left. continuing across this chamber is another parallel chamber to the right and blocked passage/chamber to the left - i.e. three parallel sets of chambers. There are many places where further passages from the chambers have been blocked with loose boulders and some bricked up with stone, several of which I only noticed on the video - the rocks are so strewn about I didn't notice at the time. Some of the blocked passages which go off from the chambers could possibly be squeezed into.
The initial large chambers were quite wet with water dripping drown from the roof.
There are further caves/entrances along the bank I haven't looked in.
Sadly my camera ran out of space as I was walking back out, so the last couple of minutes were recorded in much poorer quality on my phone.
