Silsden, West Yorkshire | Town Centre Walk 2020

Join me for a walk of Silsden, West Yorkshire - which you might call the Venice of West Yorkshire. Famous for its position on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, waterways are a major feature of this wonderful Yorkshire town.
As we walk around the town centre, we pass a number of interesting sights, including the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, The Beck, Kirkgate, Silsden Town Hall, St James' Church, Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Silsden Bandstand, Hothfield Primary School and more!

[@LetsWalkUK]

It's a great canalside town with some brilliant heritage - always nice to see much of it staying around over the years :) Thank you so much for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories!

8:38 left adjacent to the Hair Design shop is the space that used to be Bonapartes, made infamous on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. What an absolutely beautiful town center. Thanks so much for uploading.

[@LetsWalkUK]

It really is a delightful town centre, the waterways integrate wonderfully into Silsden! I didn't know about Bonapartes and Kitchen Nightmares though, so thank you very much for pointing that one out :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

The Two Churches is on the left and right on the other side of the road in Silsden in Yorkshire in England in the UK.

It's Yorkshire beautiful....I hope 1 day to retire to somewhere in Yorkshire or maybe Northumberland...The people are very friendly and welcoming there.....

[@LetsWalkUK]

You're absolutely right! Yorkshire and Northumberland are easily two of my favourite counties in England - particularly the coastlines but the deeper regions inland are home to some real treasures just like Silsden - the Venice of West Yorkshire :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
