Welcome signs greeting people to Steeton and Eastburn, and honouring one of the oldest choirs in the district, have finally been put in place.

It has been two years since the decision was made to erect the stones, and place Steeton Male Voice choir on the map.

There are two stones, one placed outside Landis Lund at Eastburn and the other at Hawkcliffe Corner, Steeton, on the old Skipton to Keighley road.

Chairman of the choir Gilmoure Davies said: "I think it is wonderful as a reminder to people that this is the home of the choir which has been in existence for over a century.

"This is a virtual reminder that we have been singing all that time."

The stones have not had an easy journey to the villages.

The first set crumbled in frost last winter and had to be replaced.

Chairman of the parish council David Emmott said: "It has been two hard years to get these stones in place, but in the end we got there.

"We are very pleased with the result and hope they will be here for many years. We hope people in Steeton and Eastburn get some pleasure out of them."
