Apperley Bridge is a village in the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford, in West Yorkshire, England in the Idle and Thackley Ward.

Apperley Bridge is north-east of Bradford on the boundary with the City of Leeds[1]

bounded in the east by Carr Beck and to the south by Greengates.

The village straddles the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the River Aire. It takes its name from the old bridge over the river on Apperley Lane.

Parts of Rawdon in Leeds of similar character are included in the BD10 Apperley Bridge postal district.

History

The bridge from which the village takes its name was built in the late-16th century or early-17th century.[2]

In 1777 a stone arched bridge was built on Harrogate Road over the canal but the present bridge dates from 1936 and has since been widened.[3]

From 1846 until its closure in 1965, Apperley Bridge railway station was situated across the boundary in Rawdon.[4]

Off Tenterfields close to the canal were four 19th-century mills; Apperdale Mill (formerly Dyehouse Mill), Oaklea Mills, Valley Mills (Canal Mills) and Whitfield Mill.[3] Apperdale Mill and Oaklea Mills survive close to the canal basin, which is now a pleasure boat marina.

Since the 1990s housing has been built in the Tenterfields area between the canal up to Greengates.

Valley Mills and Whitfield Mills were demolished to make way for the development, while Apperdale Mill and Oaklea Mill were converted into residential units.

Hammonds sauce factory on Harrogate Road close to the canal has been replaced by modern development.

In the 2000s the village was considered for conservation area status but was turned down partly because many of its older buildings already had listed building status.[5]

Governance

Apperley Bridge is in the Idle and Thackley ward.

Economy

On Apperley Lane is the head office of JCT600 vehicle hire and dealership.[6]

Next to the Harrogate Road bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal is Apperley Bridge Quarries.[3]

On the canal itself is Apperley Bridge Marina with a cafe, office, and chandler operated by Calder Valley Marine.[7]

Regarding leisure and tourism there are several cafes and historic public house / restaurants in the area and the possibility of towpath and field walks.[8]

Landmarks

Historic Apperley Bridge village is a collection of buildings and groups of buildings separated by green space, it does not have a square, green, or commercial area that could be identified as a focal centre for the village.

The old bridge from which Apperley Bridge takes its name is of ashlar construction with two arches and a partially obliterated inscription by the road edge.[2]

Numerous farm buildings, barns, and previously canal related buildings along Apperley Road near Milman Bridge have listed building status.

The Dog and Gun, The George and Dragon,* and The Stansfield Arms* public houses are historic former houses, farmhouses and barns.

The Woodhouse Grove Methodist Church (grade II listed)[9]
