==Context==
Throughout the 1960s and for most of the 1970s, the trunk roads programme included a scheme to improve the road network in the densely populated valleys north of Bradford. The proposal was, in short, to provide a road of roughly motorway standard (often described as a motorway and with the number M650 sometimes attached) from Bradford City Centre northwards, bypassing Shipley, Bingley and Keighley, and probably connecting to improved roads towards Colne and Skipton.

The scheme was sent into a tailspin when the Bingley Bypass was thrown out in an incredibly unruly public inquiry in the mid-1970s, the first occasion on which a road scheme had been so vociferously opposed. As a result the plans went into hiding and emerged again in the 1980s and 1990s as a series of small-scale schemes, providing an at-grade dual carriageway upgrade to the A650 around Keighley. The Bingley Relief Road opened (to local cheers, it must be noted) in 2004.

This file describes the original vision for the road from Bradford (though not reaching right into the city itself) to Keighley, including details of the proposed alignment, junction locations and in some cases layouts, alternative routing ideas, proposals for canal realignment to enable the road construction work and more. As the file title suggests, it includes a wealth of correspondence regarding the scheme, which was sponsored by West Riding County Council.

==Contents of note==
* Route plans showing the alignment of roads around Bingley and Shipley, including the fabled Shipley Bypass and west-of-Bingley alignment.
* Series of plan sheets showing the route of the road from north of Keighley to the suburbs of Bradford.
