  • St. Ives Goblins the Druids Altar & Lady Blantyre's Rock
    St. Ives Goblins , the Druids Altar & Lady Blantyre’s Rock (5 miles) An interesting 5 mile walk around the St Ives Estate above the town of Bingley. The climb up through the woods from Myrtle Park is quite steep but, after that, the going is easy on good paths and you will be rewarded with some fine views along the way! Start point: Bingley Rail Station. Bingley was probably founded about the time of the Saxons; certainly its name is Saxon in origin, meaning “Bing's clearing”, though this would not be the original spelling or pronunciation of Bing. Bingley is thought to have been founded around a ford on the River Aire. The ford was superseded by Ireland Bridge. In medieval times Bingley was a manor which extended several miles up and down the Aire valley, extending upstream to Marley on the outskirts of Keighley and downstream to Cottingley. Bingley became a market town with the grant of a Market Charter in 1212 by King John. According to the poll tax returns of 1379, Bingley had 130 households, probably around 500 people. The nearby towns of Bradford, Leeds and Halifax had about half this population. At this time Bingley was the largest town in the area. In 1592 Bingley was shown on a map as a single street with about 20 houses on each side. The church sits at the west end of the street opposite a single large house, possibly a manor house. Since Bingley was a market town, the market stalls would have been set up on either side of the main street.

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.

  • A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre
    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

  • Bingley Parish Neighbourhood Plan
    Bingley Parish Neighbourhood Plan Introduction 1 Introduction v12 Jan 2021 This page deliberately left blank 2 Introduction v12 Jan 2021 Foreword Neighbourhood Development Plans come out of the Government’s aim to ensure that local communities are closely involved in the decisions which affect them. The Bingley Neighbourhood Development Plan is being developed to establish a vision for the parish and to help deliver the local community’s aspirations and needs for the plan period from 2019 to 2030. Our Neighbourhood Development Plan is a statutory document that must sit within and will be incorporated into the district planning frameworks and must be used by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to determine planning applications. Our Plan has been produced by local residents and Town Councillors who form the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group, established by the Town Council. The group represents those who live in Bingley and the villages that form the parish: Cottingley, Crossflatts, Eldwick, Gilstead and Micklethwaite. A Neighbourhood Plan has many benefits: • It can help protect our community from uncontrolled, large scale, or poorly placed development • Spread the development required by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council’s Core Strategy around the parish • Ensure that development is sympathetic to, and improves, the look and feel of the parish • Minimise the loss of greenfield sites by, where possible, using previously developed sites • Give the parish access to Community Infrastructure Levy funding to improve facilities. (With a Town Council, the parish gets 15% of any CIL, with a Town Council and Neighbourhood Plan, the parish gets 25% of CIL) However, the Neighbourhood Plan cannot undo decisions, for example the development of Greenhill, already made by Bradford district planning authority.

  • Discovering Bingley
    DISCOVERING BINGLEY A great walk to discover Bingley starts at the train station then goes around the Aire River and Harden Beck Foot, the Leeds and Liverpool canal and its famous Five Rise Locks to finish all the way up to Gilstead crag, just to appreciate the view, and comes back down to the station through quiet streets. There are regular trains from Leeds or Bradford Forster Square. It's also a stop on the Leeds to Carlisle line. If you are coming by car, there are plenty of parking spaces at the Wellington Street car park which is next to the station (charges apply). The train Station car park is free for railway users but is often full unfortunately. The itinerary: www.walk4life.info/walk/discovering-bingley TO MYRTLE PARK From the Station make your way towards Main Street and cross the road. Before going to Myrtle Park, have a look at the old Market Hall and Butter Cross opposite Bingley Little Theatre entrance on the town square. Bingley was awarded a Market Town status in 1212 and these monuments are reminders of this past. Now make your way towards Myrtle Park entrance which is opposite the swimming pool and behind the former Bradford & Bingley building. RIVER AIRE AND HARDEN BECKFOOT You can now cross the park and make your way to its far end towards the river Aire. For interest, the Park is used for many public events including the annual Bingley Music Live Festival and the Bingley Show. Cross the pedestrian bridge and you will find allotments on your right hand side on the other side of the river.
