Clifford, West Yorkshire : ウィキペディア英語版 | Clifford, West Yorkshire
Clifford is a small village in the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The village is 3 miles (5 km) south of Wetherby. Many of the older buildings are built of magnesian limestone. ==History== The village of Clifford takes its name from ''Clyf and ''ford'' Old English for ford at the bank or cliff, referring to the crossing of the River Wharfe at Boston Spa which was then within the manor. Clifford is mentioned in the Domesday Book, when Ligulf held the manor of six carucates with four ploughs. Clifford was originally a farming community, but in the 1831, the corn mills, powered by Bramham Beck, on Old Mill Lane were transformed into flax mills, making patent yarn and shoe thread. The mills were owned by the Grimston Brothers. At its height the business employed about 300 workers, some of them Irish immigrants, and many of whom lived in the stone terraced cottages in the village.〔
