You may find that Keighley have a group on Facebook which shows old photos, I've not checked but I know of other towns where this is done.

Particularly interested in finding an obituary for Thomas Henry Haggas. Looking for information on the Haggas family. Mill owners. Lived at Myrtle Grove House Cross Roads near Keighley. Thomas Henry Haggas born 1865 and is buried in Utley Cemetary. The Haggas family supported the development of Cross Roads park and the bowling club in particular - the Haggas Merit cup etc. Interested in photographs of Myrtle Grove House Cross Roads (not to be confused with Myrtle Grove at Bingley) - especially the interior as it was in the days of the Haggas family and old photographs of Cross Roads park.
Any extra information anyone can give us about the family and their life in Cross Roads and the mills and houses they owned would be of great interest to us.
