group on facebook

Since seeing the grp on facebook, you know you've lived in keighley when, have become interested in reviving my old blog about the high rise flats again and looking into their history, sadly they are being filled with tenants who do not want to be here these days, and the old days of pride in the flats have gone. I still love my flat however, and will try to upload a few photo's to show why, along with the ones already on the blog, I think this is the best two blocks of flats in the town, witha beautiful outlook and close enough to town to be easily accessible, it's a shame they're going to the dogs.

About Me

Keighley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a 61yr old woman new to this blog thing so don't really know what I'm doing yet, so bear with me if things go wrong. I am looking forward to my retirement in 2014 and spending more time with my grandson seeing more of my family and friends and being able to have time to myself to indulge in my favourite pastimes..
