Perched on a high vantage point above Halifax, Clayton and Thornton; overlooking Bradford itself, Queensbury is one of the highest parishes in England, with fine views beyond West Yorkshire towards the hills of Brontë Country and the Yorkshire Dales to the north and north west. Queensbury is most famous as being the home of Black Dyke Mills, the Black Dyke Band and most recently the location for the historical television dram Gentleman Jack. There are many local amenities such as a supermarket, highly regarded schools, hairdressers, public houses and restraunts, a chemist, gyms, a local swimming pool and a variety of shops including a post office. Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield are within a short drive as is the M62 ensuring convenient commuting throughout the region whilst train and bus services area easily accessible. Tourist attractions are in abundance and include Shibden Hall, the glorious Shibden Valley, Horton Bank Country Park, Another world Adventure and Eureka to mention but a few. Upper Shibden Hall, which has in the past been referred to as Catherine Slack House offers a magnificent piece of history and stands overlooking the stunning Shibden Valley. The site was first documented in 1277 and was believed to be owned by the DeShibden family long before the remains of the building we have today. Evidence suggests that in 1362 it was owed by a vicar named Richard DeHeton. From 1420, which is when Shibden Hall was built, many families called upper Shibden hall their home; the last owner, Samuel Pollard living there from around 1720. Michael Stocks bought the land and property and rebuilt it around 1800 naming it Catherine house. The Stocks family moved here in the 1800's and the house was one of many of the large country residences they owned. The tower was a later addition to the property. Unfortunately, a fire in the 1950's destroyed the house; the only remaining sections now being the tower and the south facing façade which under the previous planning approval has to be retained.
