General Notes

Copley is a district of Halifax, on the floor of the Calder valley below Skircoat Green and between Sowerby Bridge and Elland.

Adam de Copley is mentioned at the time of William the Conqueror's siege of York in 1070.

Copley was incorporated into the Borough of Halifax in 1900.

In 1847, the Ackroyd family left Boy Mill, Luddendenfoot and moved worsted production to Copley. Jonathan Akroyd bought land and the mill and conceived Copley model village for their employees. This was built by his son Edward Akroyd in 1849.

The name means field with a copse of small trees, clearing beneath a hill, clearing on a hill or clearing belonging to [someone called] Cop
