BRADFORD ATTRACTION COULD RECEIVE 3.3 MILLION FACE-LIFT
One of Keighley's most popular tourist attractions could soon get a 3.3 million pound rejuvenation.
Bradford council hope a Heritage Lottery Fund grant will bring Cliffe Castle on Skipton road back to it's former glory.
The 150 year old museum was originally the mansion of local Victorian millionaire and textile manufacturer, Henry Isaac Butterfield.
The council hope that if the application is successful the family friendly site can gain a new lease of life and attract more visitors to the area.
BCB News spoke to Special Projects Manager Dick Webb, who says the money will be put to good use if granted.
He told us the gardens will be restored to their original Victorian splendour along with water features and a new children's play area and cafe will also be up-dated.
