The contest was staged by Keighley Healthy Living, in partnership with Bradford As One. “The aim of the competition was to bring communities together and give people a focus during the final stages of lockdown,” said a Keighley Healthy Living spokesman. “We received some wonderful artwork.” Some of the entries are on display – until May 28 – at the Game shop, in Keighley’s Airedale Shopping Centre. Winners were: placemat (over 16) – 1 Kim Guinnetti and Helen James, runner-up Sue Ridley; highly commended Bella and Sophia Holmes (under 16). Cyanotype (over 16) – Gill Hill (Art Group), Steve Rayner; cyanotype (under 16) – 1 Ella Smith, runner-up Lucy Snowdon, highly commended Ralph Jack.
FIREFIGHTERS were called to the Keighley Farmfoods store in the early hours of the morning. The alarm was raised at around 2am at store, which is in the Airedale Shopping Centre. Watch Commander Mick Rhodes, from Keighley Fire Station, said there had been an electrical fault in a stack freezer, as the transformer had overheated. Firefighters, who were at the scene for around an hour, isolated the electrics, moved the freezer outside and used fans to clear the building of smoke. No lasting damage has been caused.
