NOTHING now remains of this corner of Keighley, photographed about the mid-1930s during the clearance of the Westgate area.
We are looking from Damside towards High Street, with the former Mill Street on the right.
The large building on the left, with a wooden addition at the back, on the site now occupied by the Salvation Army, was Upper Green Congregational Chapel. The old Friends’ Meeting House appears on its right.
The Friends’ Meeting House had a date-stone of 1709, but was demolished in 1938, two years after Keighley’s Quakers moved into their Skipton Road meeting house. Mill Street was stopped up in 1938.
Although threatened with demolition at the same time, Upper Green Chapel was reprieved until – as the last survivor of this view – it was pulled down in 1964.
