The ward's civic heart includes the public library and the former town hall, now a business centre, reflecting its historical administrative role. A notable local landmark is the singlestory, red-brick Keighley Market, a covered hall operating since the 19th century. Green space is provided by Devonshire Park, with its bowling greens and playgrounds.
