Bradford was long a centre of the West Riding wool industry. The name is derived from the “Broad Ford” at Church Bank by the site of Bradford Cathedral, around which the city was founded sometime around the time of the Norman Conquest. The stream, called Bradford Beck, now passes through underground tunnels to the River Aire near Shipley.

Bradford was one of the many English cities which really came into its own in the Industrial Revolution. Bradford’s textile industry dates back as far as the thirteenth century, but it was not until the nineteenth century that it became world famous. Yorkshire boasted plentiful supplies of iron ore, coal and soft water which were used in cleaning raw wool, and a coal seam which stretched as far as Nottingham provided the power that the industry needed. Sandstone, Bradford’s local stone, provided an excellent resource for the building of the mills, and the large population of West Yorkshire meant there was a readily available workforce.

To support the textiles mills and machinery a large manufacturing base grew up in the city, leading to diversification with different industries thriving side by side. Today most of the older textile mills and some of the heavier industries have closed, but Bradford remains one of the north’s important cities, with modern engineering, chemicals and financial services replacing the “dark satanic mills” of the revolution.

The city was an agricultural market town in the Middle Ages, and received its first charter in 1207. In the Tudor period Leeds was mainly a merchant town manufacturing woollen cloths and trading with Europe via the Humber estuary. At one point nearly half of England’s total export passed through Leeds. The city’s industrial growth was catalysed by the introduction of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1816 and the railway in 1848.

Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the recorded history of Leeds can be traced to the 5th century when the Kingdom of Elmet was covered by the forest of “Loidis”, the origin of the name Leeds. During the Industrial Revolution, Leeds developed into a major industrial centre for the production and trade of wool, before emerging as a centre for commerce and higher education, being the location of the University of Leeds, Leeds Metropolitan University and Leeds Trinity and All Saints. Today Leeds is one of the largest financial and legal centres outside London.

The name “Leeds” is thought to be derived from “Loidis”, a word of Celtic origin.[3] Bede wrote: “…regione quae vocatur Loidis” — region known as Loidis. This root also survives in the nearby place names of Ledston and Ledsham. Leeds was mentioned as “Ledes” in the Domesday Book of 1086, after which the name evolved into “Leedes” and finally “Leeds”.
