PICNICKERS and paddlers are enjoying a pre-war summer’s day at Intake Bridge – colloquially more familiar as Tinker Bridge – on the North Beck below Holme House Woods.
This was the view from the Fell Lane side of the valley.
A well-trodden footpath down the opposite hillside shows that Intake Bridge was popular with residents from the new and growing Guard House estate.
Incredibly, this rural scene lies barely a mile from what was then a heavily industrialised centre of Keighley.
The North Beck still provides a green corridor from the town into the countryside, but a current massive planning application threatens to bring housing to the very edge of this view.
