Otley Road

Otley Road (A65) is the main road through the centre of Guiseley running from Leeds and then on to Menston and Ilkley. It is also called in parts Leeds Road, New Road and Menston Road so may be marked in various ways on different old photos.

This was not historically the heart of Guiseley which in times gone by was centred around Town Gate, however now this is where all the main shops and businessed are located.

We start towards Leeds and then travel down the Main Street towards White Cross.

Please note: the Guiseley pages are a work in progress and may take a couple of years to complete initially. You are welcome to look at what I've done so far!

Looking towards Guiseley with Ghyll Road on the left hand side. The chimney in the distance may be Greenbottom Dye Works?
