In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Apperley Bridge like this:
APPERLEY-BRIDGE, a village in the townships of Calverley-with-Farsley and Eccleshill, parish of Calverley, W. R. Yorkshire; on the river Aire, the Leeds and Liverpool canal, and the Leeds and Colne railway, 7¾ miles WNW of Leeds. It has a station on the railway, a post office under Leeds, and a large school of the sons of Methodist ministers; and it commands a fine view.
Apperley Bridge is now part of BRADFORD District. Click here for graphs and data of how BRADFORD has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Apperley Bridge itself, go to Statistics.
