Pateley Bridge (known locally as Pateley) is a small market town in Nidderdale in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it lies on the River Nidd. It has the Oldest Sweet Shop in England 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to the Oldest Sweet Shop In England! )〕 Est. 1827 housed in one of the earliest buildings in Pateley Bridge dating from the 1660s. Pateley Bridge is also the home of the Nidderdale Museum. The last Dales agricultural show of the year, the Nidderdale Show, is held annually on the showground by the River Nidd. The show attracts over 14,000 visitors each year. == History == In the early middle ages the site of Pateley lay in lands of the Archbishop of York, which came to be known as Bishopside. In the 12th century the principal settlement in Bishopside was at Wilsill, rather than Pateley.〔Jennings, p.30〕 Pateley was first recorded in 1175 (though the document survives in a later copy), as ''Patleiagate'', with 14th century forms including ''Patheleybrig(ge)''. The final elements are clear, deriving from Old Norse ''gata'' ('street') and the northern dialect form ''brig'' ('bridge') respectively. There is more debate about the ''Pateley'' section of the name: the usual explanation is Old English ''pæþ'' ('path') in the genitive plural form ''paða'' + ''lēah'' ('open ground, clearing in a forest'); ''paða lēah'' would mean "woodland clearing of the paths", referring to paths up Nidderdale and from Ripon to Craven, which intersected here. However, the ''Pateley'' name forms competed in the Middle Ages with forms like ''Padlewath'' (1227) and ''Patheslayewathe'' which could be from Middle English *''padil'' ('a shallow place in water') + Old Norse ''vath'' ('ford') and it could be that they owe something to this name.〔Victor Watts (ed.), ''The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names Based on the Collections of the English Place-Name Society'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), s.v. ''PATELEY BRIDGE''.〕 The local story that the name comes from 'Pate', an old Yorkshire dialect word for 'Badger',〔http://www.secretworld.org/badgers_factfiles.html〕 is incorrect.〔Jennings, p.23〕 In 1320 the Archbishop of York granted a charter for a market and fair at Pateley.〔Jennings, pp.79-80〕 Until 1964, Pateley was the terminus of the railway line running up Nidderdale from Nidd Valley Junction, near Harrogate. Between 1907 and 1937, the Nidd Valley Light Railway ran farther up the dale. Access is now by road, with an hourly bus service from Harrogate.〔(Bus 24 timetable )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pateley Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
