 Self catering accommodation in Sowerby Bridge. Sowerby
Bridge has been a crossing point on the Calder and Ryburn rivers
since the Middle Ages. Domestic weaving in the hilltop villages
of Sowerby and Norland gave way to the building of large water
powered mills by the River Calder. Transportation was provided
by the building of roads, canals and later, the railway. Most
of the mills are now closed, many are now engineering premises
or converted into living accommodation. The canal, once closed
and partly filled in, has now been re-opened as a leisure waterway.
Sowerby Bridge can be found on the A58, the former main route
between Yorkshire and Lancashire, about 3 miles south west of
Halifax. Also see Sowerby Bridge
