IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space. Peter

If you would like to reproduce this crest you should first obtain permission from Silsden Town Council.

For all those residents of Silsden that insist on believing Silsden is a village perhaps they should read this booklet.

...and the reference in Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silsden

Peter, interesting info about the crest and its history. It raises a point about Silsden....why can't we have our postal address "Silsden, West Yorkshire" and drop the "Keighley", if we are a town in our own right? As long as the postcode is there, it should not be a problem?

Keighley is for purely postal reasons, why use it if you don't like it?

People seem to mistakenly think Silsden is part of Keighley - it isn't!

Street number or house name followed by the post code is all you actually need. Not sure how much automation in the postal system actually uses the post code though.
Starting with a view of planet earth on google earth inputting a UK post code always brings you to the right street.

Why bother? Be proud of your town Silsden for what it, a great place to live. happy :) There is no need to put anything but your house number and postcode for mail to get to you. Just add the name of your road and Silsden to put it on the map. happy :)

JUST THINK ABOUT IT if Keighley was not there then a lot of Silsdeners would be out of work or have to travel a lot futher to work.
