Another of Keighley’s many lost public houses, the Ship Inn at the bottom of West Lane, was demolished in 1969 after owners Bentleys Yorkshire Breweries Ltd proposed to let its licence lapse – its frontage, by then, had to be shored up with timber!
The same meeting of the Keighley Borough Licensing Committee, which authorised its closure, also refused to renew the licence of another well-known Bentley house, the White Horse Inn at Halifax Road.
The original St Andrew’s or National School, demolished in 1992, can be glimpsed on the left across Suresnes Road, which dates from 1920.
Commemorating the parish suburb, which exchanged visits with Keighley before the Great War, this name was chosen despite more pronounceable alternative suggestions of Rectory Road or Dury Road, after a former rector and his home associated with this part of town.
