Eccleshill

Eccleshill is a district within the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Historically, it was a village and parish within the wapentake of Morley. The area is situated to the north-east of Bradford city centre and is characterized by a mix of residential housing, local businesses, and green spaces.

The name Eccleshill is believed to derive from Old English, possibly referring to a hill with a church or a notable structure. Over time, it developed from a rural settlement into a more suburban area, influenced by the industrial growth of Bradford. Much of the housing stock consists of terraced properties, a common feature of West Yorkshire's industrial past, interspersed with newer developments.

Eccleshill has a community feel, with local amenities serving the residents. These include schools, shops, and public houses. The district is also served by public transport, connecting it to the wider Bradford area. Green spaces such as Eccleshill Park provide recreational facilities for the local population. The area's development reflects the broader urban expansion and changing demographics of Bradford over the past century. It remains a distinct part of the city, with its own local identity.
