A short history of Silsden
The name Silsden combines the Old Norse personal name Sigulfr with the Old English word denu, meaning valley. Gold coins from the 1st century AD, 27 of them, were found in the town in 1998. Land at Brunthwaite formed a small manor from Saxon times. The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the place as "Siglesdene" and described it as the leading village of Craven. Brunthwaite is first named in writing as Bronthweyt in the 14th century. Nail making began in the late 1700s and by the mid 1800s employed over 100 men and boys, which gave the town the nickname Cobbydale. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal, completed in 1816, linked Silsden to Leeds and Liverpool. A riot in 1911 saw the police station attacked. In the 1940s a hostel housed refugees and prisoners of war. Of 26 listed buildings near the centre, Waterloo Mill And Attached Engine House and 18-26, Bradley Road are Grade II*.
