Viewed here from High Street, the front of the chapel appears on the right.

It was entered through a yard beyond the archway in the building on the left, originally a school.

Upper Green Chapel had been opened in 1821 by Keighley's Independents, forerunners of the Congregationalists (now the United Reformed Church).

It was threatened with demolition in 1938 during the Westgate clearance scheme which claimed an adjacent historic Friends' Meeting House, but survived until 1964.

The photographs were taken by the late Harold Horsman, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, who, especially during the 1960s and 1970s --- a time of sweeping physical changes for Keighley -- deliberately recorded the passing scene.
