Idle, West Yorkshire history
The Manor of Idle contained the villages of Idle and Windhill and hamlets of Thackley, Thorpe-Green, Parkhill, Cross-Keys, Buckmill, and Wrose. The name is thought to be a corruption of Idlawe meaning Ide’s Hill, where Ida is supposed to be an Anglo Saxon settler.
Church history
Idle was once part of the parish of Calverley but in 1584 a chapel of ease was built on Town Lane and later in 1630 rebuilt on the same site. A school was added to the western end of Old Chapel and later rebuilt as Round Steps School. In 1717 Upper Chapel was built by dissenters, rebuilt in 1790 and rebuilt in 1850.
Industrial and transport history
Idle’s early industry was based on coal measures and quarrying. Stone was exported using the canal and later on the railway. Idle was served at different periods by two railway stations. A tram service operated from Bradford to Thorpe Garth from 1901 to 1931.
