Bailiff Bridge
Bailiff Bridge – also recorded as Bailiffe Bridge – is
a district on the eastern boundary of Calderdale to the north of
Brighouse at the junction of the Huddersfield to
Bradford and the Halifax to Wakefield
turnpike roads.
It was a part of North Bierley District Council until
1899, when the boundaries were altered and it came within
Hipperholme District Council and a part of the township of
Hipperholme-cum-Brighouse.
The name Bailiff is said to come from that of the
bailiff, William Bailiff or William Templer, and from the
bridge over Clifton Brook there, although the area is
mentioned – as Bailibrigge – in 1374.
The names Belly Bridge and Belly Brig are also recorded.
The bridge carried the old Wakefield Gate route across
Bailiff Bridge Beck.
