Welcome to John Liddle's blog

I hope you enjoy seeing my take on the people, places, jobs, activities and events that make it a privilege to live in Silsden. While portraying the present, I'm also aiming to indicate links with the past, thus continuing the story that began 1,500 years ago with the founding of Sighle's Dean, named after the local Saxon chief. *Click on the months in the Blog Archive below or on Older Posts at the foot of each page to see more of my collection.
