History

The name Kebroyd is believed to have derived from the Old English words "keb" and "royd", keb meaning "shelter for lambs" or "old sheep",[3] and "royd" meaning clearing.[4] The hamlet has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Iron Age.[5]

During the Industrial Revolution, Calderdale became a hub for textile manufacturing, with several mills being established in the area including Kebroyd Silk Mills.[6]

There are several Grade II listed buildings dating to the 17th century in Kebroyd, including Kebroyd Hall, Denton House and the row of Mill cottages on Halifax Road.[7][8]
