Rodley, West Yorkshire history
Rodley village is not recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book, although several nearby places such as Horsforth, Calverley, Farsley and Bramley are. The earliest use of the name Rodley appears to be “Rodele”, who was listed as a tenant in the Domesdays Book, and “Redlega” who was recorded in Yorkshire in 1157.
Industrial history
In 1820 Thomas Smith’s Steam Crane Works was established and by 1888 it had gained a reputation internationally for the manufacture of cranes and lifting gear. In 1847, next to the Thomas Smith works, another crane manufacturer was established: Joseph Booth & Bros. The cranes produced by these two prominent companies are known as being of ‘Leeds Type’ or ‘Rodley Type’, and several examples have been preserved.
