Some More Views of Bingley
Bingley is a small town in the Aire Valley, just north of Bradford in West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.
The Leeds - Liverpool canal passes through Bingley, where boats must negotiate the famous Five Rise Locks.
Nearby attractions and places to visit include the St Ives' estate, Beckfoot, the World Heritage site of Saltaire (built by the Victorian philanthropist Sir Titus Salt), and the villages of Haworth and Thornton (famous as the home and birthplace of the Brontes respectively). Meanwhile, across Rombalds Moor to the east lies the spa town of Ilkley, with the beautiful Yorkshire Dales to the north.
Also nearby is the village of Cottingley, famous for its association with Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two local schoolchildren who back in 1917 photographed the Cottingley Fairies - which they claimed to be real fairies at the bottom of the garden.
