The Aire Valley Fault (also known as the Keighley Fault) is an inactive strike slip fault in Yorkshire, England. It is considered a northwestern continuation of the Morley-Campsall Fault Belt and extends northwards from the Huddersfield and Wakefield area into the South Craven fault.[1][2] It is connected to the Denholme Clough Fault.[3]
The fault runs underneath Keighley bus station and the Airedale Shopping Centre, and has caused cracks in the shopping centre.
