Facts about Shipley

General Info

Shipley is a historic market town and civil parish in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, north of Bradford. The population of the Shipley ward on Bradford City Council taken at the 2011 Census was 15,483.

Before 1974 Shipley was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The town forms a continuous urban area with Bradford. It has a population of approximately 28,162.

History

The place-name Shipley derives from two words: the Old English scīp (‘sheep’, a Northumbrian dialect form, contrasting with the Anglian dialect form scēp which underlies modern English sheep) and lēah meaning either ‘a forest, wood, glade, clearing’ or, later, ‘a pasture, meadow’. It has therefore been variously defined as ‘forest clearing used for sheep’ or ‘sheep field’.

Shipley appears to have first been settled in the late Bronze Age and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, in the form Scipelei.
