About Fencing in Wetherby
Wetherby in West Yorkshire is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wedrebi, a name likely derived from Old Norse meaning wether farm or river bend village, and it was granted a royal charter establishing it as a market town in 1240. The town's real prosperity arrived in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a busy coaching stop on the Great North Road roughly halfway between London and Edinburgh, at one point supporting up to forty inns and alehouses, with the Swan and Talbot and the Angel among the largest, each stabling more than a hundred horses. The first recorded mail coach reached Wetherby in 1786, cementing the town's place on the national mail route, and though the coaching trade eventually faded, Wetherby's position on the River Wharfe at the northern edge of the Leeds district and its long standing Thursday market have kept it a thriving hub for the surrounding area.
