I take it since she said "but in Keighley" that Keighley is a town. Since Leigh can be spelled with the "eigh" as "ee" I would say Keighley as kee-lee. It's possible that the "th" sound is just the local accent... seeing as it's in West Yorkshire, I want to say it's the accent :) Not like Leicester (which is les-ter for those who don't know) which has a weird pronunciation but it's the same pronunciation everywhere.

Not really....I'm from Scotland and living in Newcastle, and I saw Keith-lee. It's just what it's called.
