What a lovely heart warming film about my home town of Keighley.

This is a fantastic video - a real gem for social history. As a daughter of Italian immigrants who settled in Keighley, the journey of these diverse immigrants is so important and fascinating. And it characterises the diverse community of the Keighley I grew up in and remember 🥰

THANKS FOR SHARING! I JUST FOUND DNA PROOF THAT I AM A DESCENDANT OF THE KEIGHLEY LINAGE. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING AND VISITING THE CITY AS SOON AS I CAN.

I went to Keighley yesterday to buy a car never been before. Next to the garage are some of the old mills part of peaky blinders where filmed there also some computer gamers used the building too. These stories and buildings are part of Keighley history part of Great Britain history too. But sadly the mill had been burnt down by some college kids.

It's been burnt down times before and majority of the time it's secondary school kids since there's not alot of colleges in Keighley. There is some in the town over (Skipton)

I thought this was very good with a good message but needs cutting down in half I think it goes on too long.
