Burley in Wharfedale
The cotton mill no longer operates and has recently been converted to flats, but the goit is now utilised to provide hydro electric power, and a weir remains.[5] The development of industrial and commercial centres in the nearby cities of Leeds and Bradford, combined with rail and bus links, caused major changes to the village in the early 20th century.The village has a high percentage of elderly and retired people, and young families attracted by job opportunities, local schools and new housing developments.Recent work by community groups has resulted in developments including a new nature reserve, and the village green which contains a central water feature.[19] Burley has a railway station on the Wharfedale Line, with direct trains to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, and links to other local urban areas.[23] Magistrate and treasurer to the County Courts of Yorkshire John Peele Clapham commissioned Burley Grange and the Salem Church on Main Street.
