About West Bradford
West Bradford, Lancashire
Located 27 miles (43 km) west of the larger city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, and 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Clitheroe, West Bradford is a village and civil parish in Lancashire, England. As of the 2011 census, there were 788 people living in the civil parish. It occupies about 2,000 acres of land in the Bowland Forest. Domesday lists it as Bradeford, and the thirteenth-century Domesday Book calls it Braford in Bouland. Before 1974, this area was a part of Yorkshire's West Riding. West Bradford was added in the nineteenth century, when mail delivery was first introduced, to help differentiate the small town from its larger eastern neighbour of the same name.
The parish is part of the Waddington and West Bradford ward on Ribble Valley Borough Council, along with Waddington, Grindleton, and Sawley.
History of West Bradford
West Bradford has been a part of the Liberty of Slaidburn since the early fourteenth century. In turn, Slaidburn was a part of the ancient Lordship of Bowland, which included a Royal Forest and a Liberty of ten manors across eight townships and four parishes, and stretched across nearly 300 square miles (800 km2) on the ancient borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Within the Liberty were the manors of Slaidburn (Newton-in-Bowland, West Bradford, and Grindleton), Knowlmere, Waddington, Easington, Bashall Eaves, Mitton, Withgill (Crook), Leagram (Bowland-with-Leagram), Hammerton, and Dunnow (Battersby).
In 1931, when Mahatma Gandhi came to Lancashire to inspect the cotton mills, he stayed at Heys Farm Guest House.
