Greetland Homepage


The old part of Greetland was strung out along what is now the B6113 to the west. In the late 19C a new town known as West Vale developed in the valley, and a school and church were built (SE097213). The name stems from being at the western end of Elland, although it is at the eastern end of Greetland which was an independent authority only from 1894 to 1937.

Soyland and Barkisland met in Ripponden, perhaps on the bridge. Fixby and Huddersfield goes back to the days when Fixby was a civil parish in Halifax Rural District.
