Jackroyd

Jackroyd Lane, June 1911 celebrating the Coronation of George V.
I can't imagine that Mirfield will see this kind of patriotism for the Queens Jubilee in 2002.
Looking on the ordnance survey map of the late 1800's you find Hopton was made up of a number of small groups of dwellings, often centered around various farms or other places of employment. For example, Jackroyd, Mount Pleasant, Daisy Hill, Hopton Fold, Clough, Snowdrop Hill, Upper House & Hollin Hall to name just a few. Some of these are still familiar today, while others have slipped away into history.
Notice that at this time there was no split between Upper & Lower.
