About Fencing in Brighouse
Brighouse in West Yorkshire takes its name from a bridge house built on the crossing over the River Calder, with a wooden structure known as Rastrick Bridge recorded as early as 1275 forming part of the old Roman route between Wakefield and Manchester. The town remained a small hamlet attached to nearby Rastrick for centuries, with only 55 houses recorded in its centre by 1753, but the construction of the Calder and Hebble Navigation from 1757 opened the way for trade in silk, cotton, wool and worsted, along with malt making and flour milling powered by the river. Brighouse formally separated from Hipperholme to become its own borough in 1846, and later merged with Hove Edge and Rastrick in 1893, with William Smith serving as the town's first mayor.
