Denholme
Denholme is a town and civil parish in the Bradford Metropolitan Borough, West Yorkshire, England. It is west of Bradford, from Keighley and roughly the same distance from Halifax.

This is a good description of the town's geographical setting, since it is located in a broad side valley extending southwards from that of the River Aire - the Aire Valley or Airedale.

This would also make sense given the areas many springs, marshy terrain and situation in a valley. Denholme is also on the eastern flank of the Pennines, commonly k ...
