About

Keighley West ward lies on the western edge of the town of Keighley, bordered by the Aire Valley and the beginnings of the Pennine uplands. The area includes residential neighbourhoods like Braithwaite and Guard House, alongside significant tracts of industrial and green space. Its landscape is characterised by a mix of older stone-built terraced housing and more modern developments, with several main roads providing transport links into the town centre and towards neighbouring villages.

The ward contains the large Dalton Mills complex, a former textile factory that stands as a prominent landmark of the area's industrial heritage. Local facilities include schools, community centres, and sports grounds, with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal running through its southern part. Open land at Marley and along the river valleys provides accessible green areas for recreation within this largely urban ward.
