Here are the origins of the names of 14 towns and villages in Calderdale. Click here to see photos from a night out in Sowerby bridge in the 2000s and here to see pictures showing deserted Calderdale streets as residents stay at home during lockdown.
13. Mytholmroyd
The name Mytholmroyd means 'a clearing for settlement, where two rivers meet' and is likely to come from the Old English (ge)mthum for 'river mouth' and rodu meaning 'field' or 'clearing'.
14. Holywell Green
The village of Holywell Green gets its name from St Helen's Well which was known within the area during medieval times. The location of the original Holy Well is uncertain. It could be St Helen's Well itself, the spring in Shaw Park.
