Hey sister, looks like mpd might be considering relocating to your area !! You might have a new neighbour, either that, or he's thinking of going out on the pull |
I'm not sold on the place tbh!

Story time:
About 8 years ago I was mooching about with a mate - basically exploring doing urbex but more rural - rurex?
Anyway, Saltersgate ammunition storage site was ran by the navy during WW2. Bombs were made way down near Peterlee and the safest place to store the things was far away from houses and on a hill. They planted acres of forest around the massive bunkers.
We'd parked on the dead end lane and ventured into the trees. We'd done all of our photos and getting near the edge of the trees we entered a small oasis - grassed ground about the size of a garden. Trees in the middle and that had clearly been leant on. Scattered around the grass were hundreds of condoms, crappy toilet paper and scrunched up tissues. There were also pages from pron mags. All a bit creepy and so we exited the trees for the car.
In the 2 hours we'd been inside about 10 cars had parked up - like flies to food. Inside each car was a bloke and mostly wearing black. They were looking but not looking. All a bit creepy. One vehicle stood out - a big shiny brand new Range Rover. Inside was an old couple. The man looked like your granddad. The woman was of similar age but tarted to the tits with OTT clothing. I'm sure she was wearing a feather boa too. She had bright red lippy on her pale wrinkled face and the bloke? He was sitting smiling at us.
We'd driven away none the wiser and once home my mate messaged with some links - we'd only stumbled through the North Easts number one dogging spot hadn't we. |

I think we are going slightly off topic.
The high street is dying and it will evolve in to something else.
I live in Halifax and it's main street is dead. (Though the Piece Hall is quite a nice place to visit and even to go drinks/meals)
Nearby Keighley is probably the worst, on the main high street is an abandoned TV rentals shop, full of 20" CRT TVs and faded 80s font. It is truly dead.
Halifax council is called Calderdale and it does include some other smaller towns - Hebden Bridge/Elland/Brighouse . Now Hebden is really booming but it's all strange arty farty independent shops.
However Elland is also totaly dying, you can imagine what the council did, yup introduce parking charges on street.
Calderdale Council have watched Elland die and then thought, hmmm perhaps we were wrong and scrapped the parking charges.
Now nearby Brighouse ~ 4 miles from Elland. Was doing okay, yeah a few shop closures but not too bad.
So guess what Calderdale council has just done.... Yup introduced on street parking charges in Brighouse. WTF And guess what....
It really is f...g rediculous, there's letters in the Halifax Courier saying we should embrace public transport and travel using that.
So are people doing, well Brighouse for a start is a stones through from Leeds, no more than 15 minutes away off peak, so people are just driving to White Rose Shopping Centre. (Large Out of town shopping centre, loads of free parking, nice and warm, good security keeping local scum out). ____________________ I've a twin and a 4. |

I'm not going to give away precisely where I live in case Mdma's brownshirts decide to finger my dog, but I suspect Kawakid and I are neighbours without knowing it...
I agree. Halifax is dead apart from the Piece Hall and that covered-over bit by La Luna and Revo. Shame, because look above ground floor level and the buildings are wonderful. I do think that parking charges have an impact, but look at Hebden Bridge which has them also and it is thriving. Its because Hebden has interesting shops and offers more than your standard 'Greggs and a beggar' retail experience that the others do. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the place
Keighley Town Centre is a shxt hole, I can tell you this because I travel through it every weekend late at night, the local police station has shutdown and moved to nearby Bradford.
There is an absolute total disregard for driving laws in Keighley, cars seem to have adopted the French priorte au droit and they simply pill out/race/tare arse through the town.
Now areas near to Keighley are nice, - Denholme, Sutton in Craven, but the direct Keighley town centre is a NO GO.
Looking back to your picture from Google Street maps, it really is all totally like this.
The only thing I actually like about Keighley is the cenotaph, it's well cared for central (just across from TV rentals) and it is really well illuminated on a night. I can't think of a better one.
PS if you are thinking of moving, there are some great biking routes near Keighley, a stones from North Yorks and the dales. ____________________ I've a twin and a 4. |
