Strong Close Ironworks, Keighley
This was one of several factories operated by Messrs Prince Smith, later Prince Smith Stells. They were primarily textile machinery manufacturers and this ironworks was built on a greenfield site in about 1912.
The view shows two buildings that look like engine houses side by side. My contact Geoff Shackleton tells me that the company bought a horizontal tandem compound engine from Cole, Marchent and Morley of Bradford in 1910 for Strong Close Ironworks. In 1924 the same maker supplied a uniflow engine with a 31" x 30" cylinder driving a 500 kW, 230 V DC generator. It is not stated whether the later engine replaced the earlier one or supplemented it. I suspect the latter.

Footpath to Thwaites Brow (4)
A splendid example of a stone-setted footpath from the days of the Industrial Revolution, which appears on maps as early as 1852. I presume it was for workers to reach the factories in the town of Keighley (and at another time maybe for quarry workers living in the valley bottom to reach the quarries higher up the hill).
This view in Park Wood shows how the path has tended to slip down the hillside, despite repeated attempts to stop it with stone flags.
