I don't know if you are aware of the newest Alan Godfrey map for Keighley is now published. I have picked up the newest Map from Alan Godfrey maps - Keighley North (1913) - the previous one is Keighley South (1913) This new map covers Beechcliffe (up to Roebuck) , Highfield (upto Cartmel Road) , along to Bow street, Lawkholme, Worth Village, Aireworth, Riddlesden (Hall Terr) & part of Ilkley Road- and Thwaites - before Parkwood Street was completed through the houses at the side of the Shoulder of Mutton Thwaites.

Where can this map be purchased? Does anyone know? We are interested in Strong Close Park, off Dalton Lane i.e., when were the houses built? Were they built by Prince-Smith & Stells? By the way if anyone has info. on the PS&S Foundry - we'd be very interested. Thanks
