context_page_description: Silsden is a town and civil parish in West Yorkshire, England, on the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal between Keighley and Skipton, which had a population of 8,268 at the 2011 Census. The parish includes the hamlet of Brunthwaite.
context_section_description: Silsden has been administered by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council since 1974. It also has its own town council.
  Silsden has eight public houses: the Robin Hood, the Counting House, the Red Lion, the Duck Pond, the Post Office, the Butchers Arms, the Punch Bowl, and the King's Arms. There are two members' clubs: Sunnybank Social Club and Twisters Social Club.
  Whilst Silsden does not have its own railway station, the Steeton and Silsden railway station is 1 mile (1.6 km) south in the village of Steeton. The station provides a link for commuters to the cities of Leeds and Bradford.
  Lying between Keighley and Ilkley, Silsden is served by buses to both these towns. Silsden's public transport benefits from Silsden being part of West Yorkshire rather than North Yorkshire, the border of which runs along one end of the town.
