The Eastwood Tavern was situated on Bradford Road. This pub is now used as a cafe.
This pub was patronised by volunteers from the nearby Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, especially on the night of the annual Keighley Gala. The tap room had a seat with a leatherette cushion which for some reason we had christened “the crocodile” and nobody was supposed to sit on it. Those taking part in this annual ritual for the first time would notice that the seat was vacant and try to sit on it, whereupon the whole room would cry “don’t sit on the crocodile”.
