Keighley News readers have confirmed the identity of Townfield House, which used to stand on the bus station site.

People who remembered the house at the corner of Bow Street and Cooke Lane contacted the paper this week.

They confirmed which of two photographs - printed in last week's Keighley News - showed the Victorian building.

Two possible locations were suggested for the second picture, which showed Victorian doctor William Dobie and his coachman Luther Roe.

Mary Bennett, 84, suggests the house, which was surrounded by trees and a conservatory, could have been in Spring Gardens Lane.

An anonymous caller believes the house could be the building known as Oxenhope Old Hall.

Among the readers who confirmed which building was at the bus station site was June Barton, a former solicitors' secretary.

Each morning she met secretaries from other town centre solicitors - including Weather-heads, based in Townfield House - to swap documents at the nearby Drivers Milk Bar.

Nellie Parr lived with her family in a flat at Townfield House during the Second World War, while it was occupied by Weatherheads.

Nellie's mother Hannah Brown hosted tea and entertainment at the house for servicemen who served in the Salvation Army band while billeted in Keighley.

Jean Devine's late father ran a taxi service from part of Townfield House in the middle of the last century.

Mrs Devine, of Staveley Road, Ingrow, said her father and mother rented the house for many years, occupying the top floors and two downstairs floors, and ran a taxi business from a window at the other side facing the bus station.

The taxi business was called Baileys Taxis and everybody knew Arthur Bailey and Clariss Bailey.

They later acquired Devonshire Yard for taxis, calling it Streamline Taxis.
