Sowerby-Bridge

SOWERBY BRIDGE was very much a creation of the Industrial Revolution when the construction of the canal and later the railway provided cheap coal and together with the improvement of steam power brought about the concentration of industry in the valley bottoms. Sowerby Bridge includes parts of the former townships of Norland, Sowerby, Warley and Skircoat.
