Bingley
Bingley is a market town within the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford situated in West Yorkshire, England. The town is positioned on the River Aire as well as the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and is situated in Airedale on the south of Ilkley Moor. The population has recently witnessed a drop, having a population of 19,884 in 2001 and reducing to approximately 18,000 in the 2011 Census. The definition of the town's name is interpreted as 'Bing's Clearing' and is Saxon in origin. The town's first settlement served the ford across the River Aire at the narrowest point of the Aire Valley, and Ireland Bridge was made in 1986 with the intention of replacing the ford. A great deal of the older history of the town continues to be present within the town, such as the Bingley Grammar School, founded in the sixteenth century, which is thought to be one of the oldest schools in the country. Bingley features an abundance of local retailers, a street market, banks as well as the 'Little Theatre'. There are also effective transportation links in the town, with a railway station positioned in the town centre as well as the Leeds Bradford Airport close by. Barges on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal navigate the Bingley Five Rise Locks, with people often viewing barges navigating the locks. As a result of its largely unspoilt habitat, walking and biking in the town proves popular, and golfers can play at the Bingley St. Ives Golf Club. An annual music festival, Bingley Music Live, is held at Myrtle Park, featuring an array of high quality music which attracts a considerable audience. For all of your property improvements, be sure that you use reputable professionals in Bingley to ensure that you get the most effective quality service.
