Eastern Railway and, ultimately, to the North Eastern Region of British Railways before closure. At above sea level, Denholme was the highest station on the entire GNR system. The line was mostly rural and needed the construction of many earthworks, viaducts and tunnels. Its hilly nature earned it the nicknames of "the Alpine route" or "the switchback" from its drivers. The original mills around which the town grew have now gone, though their sites have been partially re-used for light industry. Recent years have seen the closure of the bulk of the remaining manufacturing industry in the town, including specialised textiles, joinery and constructional timber. Whilst there are still employment opportunities in the shops, schools and other town services, or on the surrounding farms, the majority of working residents now commute to Bradford, Keighley, Halifax or Leeds. Geology Education Denholme Primary School has a good reputation. The neighbouring hamlet of Keelham also has a primary school and some children from the town attend there. The nearest high school is Parkside School, Cullingworth, just over 2 miles away. Landmarks Denholme Shared Church is "a partnership of three denominations - Baptist, United Reformed and the Church of England", occupying the former United Reformed Church, which is a grade II listed building. The former parish church of St Paul and the former Denholme Clough Methodist Church, both also grade II listed, have been converted for residential use, the former featuring in BBC show Homes Under the Hammer. There is also a library in the Mechanics Institute, and a Conservative Social Club. Services include a doctor's surgery, a pharmacy & sheltered housing. There is also a public park - Foster Park - which was given to the people of Denholme in 1912 by William Foster. The town has a selection of shops - food, non-food and fast food, two pubs - the Royal and the New Inn, a post office, a charity shop and a farm shop. Foster Park houses a youth cafe, skate area, basketball court, bowling green and the town War Memorial. Just to the east of Denholme is Doe Park Reservoir where there is fishing, a water activities centre and a sailing club. Transport The main road running through Denholme is the A629. The town is on regular bus routes between Keighley and Bradford and with occasional services to Halifax. Events There is a Children's Gala (fair) every year held in
