Copley

This blog is updated regularly and is a collection of anything I find that has a connection with the area. Everyone is invited to add their own articles and information but there will be a small charge for any advertising.

I hope you enjoy these pages and return regularly to see any added material.

COPLEY is the site of another old settlement on the valley floor. It is a village on the road between Sowerby Bridge and Elland and lies at the junction of three townships viz. Skircoat, Greetland and Norland. A substantial stone viaduct carries the Manchester to Leeds railway across the valley into Halifax. Edward Akroyd built a large mill in Copley and created a model village for his workpeople.
