RAF Manywells Height
Royal Air Force Manywells Height (also known as Royal Flying Corps Manywells Height, Royal Flying Corps Cullingworth and Royal Air Force Cullingworth) was a grassed airstrip in use as Home Defence during the First World War. The site was just south of the village of Cullingworth which is south of Keighley and north west of Bradford in West Yorkshire.
It was considered as a civilian airfield for West Yorkshire on decommissioning, but Yeadon became the hub of civilian flights as Leeds Bradford International Airport.
It was used by aircraft from 1913 and commissioned as an airfield by the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 with closure by the Royal Air Force (its eventual owner) in 1919. Whilst it was used in 1919 in a civilian capacity, it was abandoned in that same year.

Harden Beck
Harden Beck is a stream that flows from Hewenden Reservoir, over Goit Stock Waterfall to the River Aire in Bingley, West Yorkshire. The route starts out further up the valley as Denholme Beck, Hewenden Beck and Hallas Beck. Its waters are fed by Thornton Moor Reservoir, Stubden Reservoir, Doe Park Reservoir and Hewenden Reservoir.
Harden Beck is an overflow channel of Glacial Erosion which was carved out during the last ice age. The section after the waterfall down to the bridge under the road to Wilsden, is locally referred to as 'The Hidden Valley.'
Mapping lists Harden Beck as starting where Hallas Beck and Cow House Beck meet, but documents from Bradford Council and the Yorkshire Invasive Species Forum list the beck as starting at the dam head from Hewenden reservoir
In his book, Chronicles of Old Bingley, Harry Speight says that the Beck does start at the confluence of Hallas and Cow House Becks and that Harden Beck was a dividing line in the parishes, deaneries and the Wapentakes.
