Geocache Description:


This Adventure Lab bonus cache is not at the published coordinates. 

 

Sowerby Bridge is a market town in the Upper Calder Valley, part of Calderdale, West Yorkshire.  The town was originally a fording point over the once much-wider River Calder where it is joined by the River Ryburn.  The name Sowerby Bridge references its situation as a crossing point over the River Calder to the older settlement at Sowerby

Textiles and engineering industry grew up around the bridge. By the mid-19th century the population had grown and the settlement became an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1894. 

From 1892 to 1930 Pollit & Wigzell manufactured stationary steam engines for the cotton and woollen mills of Yorkshire, Lancashire and India. A trans-Pennine waterway and railway both pass though the town.

The name of the town is often mis-pronounced.  To speak like a local, forget the WE in the middle of Sowerby – its sore rather than sour!
