BRADFORD PARISH #5: OXENHOPE
Today in Bradford we’re in Bronte country again. This is the parish of Oxenhope which lies just to the South of Haworth. It has minor links to the Bronte family, but here its all about the railway
And when I say that, I mean it, because without the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway which we met in Haworth, Oxenhope wouldn’t exist, or at least not in the same form we know it today
Oxenhope derives from the Old English word “hop” which means valley head, so this is literally Oxen Valley Head. Like many places in Bradford, it was heavily industrialised in the 19th century
The modern village encompasses what was originally a collection of separate, smaller settlements - Uppertown, Lowertown, Leeming, Horkinstone, Marsh and Shaw
The area only became known as Oxenhope when the railway company named Oxenhope station in 1867. It referred to a small settlement between Marsh and Haworth
Originally the railway was designed to terminate at Haworth but thanks to the owners of Lowertown Mill, it was extended. This decision would greatly alter the street pattern of the village
Above the main village in Leeming is a huge reservoir, not built to supply water to Keighley, but rather to power the mills – and Oxenhope has had plenty of those in its time
In short, its famed for mills, railways and even a straw race – this is Oxenhope!
