Illingworth, West Yorkshire

Illingworth is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, England.

Situated on the side and top of a hill, this is an exposed area, and feels cooler than lower down districts.

The Commercial Inn is another pub now demolished, and on its site there are some mews style private housing.

In the 1970s, some ancient cottages were lost on Church Terrace, as were some farmsteads on the upper west of Keighley Road to make way for the Abbey Park social housing scheme.

Illingworth is on the whole in what could be described as an attractive setting, the countryside is never far away, and there are many ancient buildings, but the village centre has witnessed severe deterioration of the environment with the aforesaid demolitions of the two public houses, and the "tram shelter".
