Crossflatts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crossflatts is a ribbon development in Airedale along the old route of the A650 road between Bingley and Keighley, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The building of the Aire Valley Trunk road in recent decades has moved the bulk of the traffic away from it.

It is served by Crossflatts railway station on the Skipton to Bradford/Leeds line. This small village is home to the famous five rise locks, although most people believe them to be in Bingley as this is the nearest large town.
