History


The village was served by Bailiff Bridge railway station on the Pickle Bridge Line between 1881 and 1917 (which was, coincidentally, the date of the Russian Revolution).[2] One of the main employers in the village was Firth's carpets.[3] Notable residents from the village are Danny and Richard McNamara from the band Embrace, who grew up in the village.[4]
