Frank Parkinson Homes, Guiseley A set of almshouses, built in the late 20th century but in a traditional courtyard style.  They are named after Frank Parkinson (1887-1946), an electrical engineer and philanthropist who was a major benefactor of the University of Leeds and founded what became Crompton Parkinson, a major employer in Guiseley until recent times.  He left a bequest for these almshouses which are now managed by the Anchor Housing Association.
