Denby Dale - November 2022

Denby Dale is a civil parish in the borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire
Famous for its giant pies which have usually been made to celebrate major events in the nation's history. The first Denby Dale Pie was made in 1788 and was said to celebrate the recovery of King George lll from a bout of 'madness'.
First recorded as Denby Dyke.
Before the Industrial Revolution the village was sparsely-populated with a small textile industry at the crossroads of the Barnsley to Shepley Lane Head and the Wakefield to Denby Dale roads.
Within 25 years, factories and mills had been built and had a railway station on the Penistone Line.
Denby Dale provided the textile industry with raw materials, coal, and transportation.
Silk for the Queen Mother's wedding dress was made at Springfield Mill.
With the economy flourishing, the population increased and the village grew.

I may have considered flying under it, but I’m mentally not right
