Both the factory and the village built to house the workers were
called Firthcliffe.
By 1908, it had a turnover of US$1,000,000 and employed nearly 600
workers.
In 1908, the company had difficulties with the authorities for
violations, since 1902, of US Labor Law, when 24 carpet workers were
ordered to be deported.
A US press report at the time states that those who were deported
were strike leaders and their families, because, following a strike
settlement, the strike leaders were not re-employed
During World War II, this operation was sold in order to raise
dollars for the UK war treasury.

The Parsonage is said to have been built on earlier graves.
The local women used the gravestones in the churchyard to hang out
their washing, until the Rev Brontë arrived in 1820 and drove
them out.
It is said that there were around 40,000 burials in the churchyard,
and Babbage recorded 1344 burials in 10 years.
The close packing of the graves and the heavy gravestones have been
blamed for the unhealthy state of the village.
Water passing from the churchyard flowed down to the wells in Haworth.
The heavy and closely-packed gravestones did not allow the growth of
plants to decay and aerate the ground.

In February 1842, in order to acquire language skills and inspired by
Martha Taylor's experience in Brussels, Charlotte and Anne
enrolled as pupil-teachers at the school financed by their Aunt Branwell.
The wife of Rev Evan Jenkins found them places at the school.
Rev Brontë accompanied the girls on their journey to Belgium,

school as teacher-pupils.

Margaret, Catherine, Marianne, and
Eliza Wooler.
Charlotte Brontë attended the Misses Wooler's girls' school here for 2 years from 1831 – see Rev Thomas Atkinson.
There were about 10 pupils when Charlotte arrived.
In 1831, she won a silver medal for her manners and most outstanding
girl in the school.
She met her life-long friends, Ellen Nussey and Mary Taylor, at
the school.
Other pupils included E. Cook, E. Lister.
Charlotte was a teacher at the school between 1835-1838.
Her appointment enabled Emily to attend, her fees being deducted
from Charlotte's salary.
They arrived at the school on 29th July 1835.
In October 1835, Emily became ill – she was homesick and she lost
weight – and returned to Haworth, and Anne took her place.
In November 1837, Anne fell ill with a life-threatening illness,
and returned to Haworth but, after recovering, she did not return
to Roe Head.
The school moved to Dewsbury Moor in early 1838.
Charlotte resigned after Anne became ill, but returned in 1838,
by which time the school had moved to Dewsbury Moor.
Charlotte broke down at the school and returned to Haworth for good.

The valuable estate was owned by members of the Ferrand family,
including John Ferrand of Stockton-upon-Tees.
Charlotte Brontë declined an invitation to visit Harden
Grange.
The estate was passed down the Ferrand family.
John's daughter Sarah – wife of Currer Fothergill Busfeild – was the first to inherit, and, being widowed by that
time, she reverted back to her maiden name.
Around the same time, her 3 [then] unmarried daughters – Elizabeth Octavia, Caroline and Emily Lucinda – took
the surname Busfeild-Ferrand
Then Sarah's eldest son William inherited and
had to change his name.
Then William, son of Johnson Atkinson.
The last name change was in 1890.
The estate was becoming too expensive and was given to Bingley

The Church is mentioned in 1317, but is probably much earlier.
The Church was built in 1655.
Until the Rev Brontë arrived and drove them out, the
local women used the gravestones in the Churchyard to hang out their
washing.
Rev Brontë installed the organ [1833].
Branwell was the Church organist for a time.
See Abraham Sunderland.
Rev Brontë installed a peal of bells in the tower [1849].
The tower was pock-marked with the shots fired from Rev
Brontë's pistol.
Arthur Nicholls complained that the Church was a house of prayer,
and not a shrine to his wife or her sisters.
The Church was demolished by Rev Wade and rebuilt – retaining the
original tower – in 1879.
The tower was raised by an extra storey and a clock was installed.
Wade planted trees in the Churchyard.
In 1882, a brass plaque was placed in the Church floor marking the
vault and recording the deaths of Emily and Charlotte.
The present appearance of the Church dates from 1962.
Two new Churches were built later for outlying parts of the parish:
St Mary's, Oxenhope, and Stanbury Mission Church.

In 1100, the Second Earl Warenne began building the first Sandal
castle on the right bank of the river Calder.
This was a wooden construction, and from the summit of the mound much
of the Calder valley and the manor could be seen.
Any military movement at Pontefract Castle, the seat of the de Lacy
barons could also be observed.
Subsequent Earls of Warren extended the castle.
In 1460, the Battle of Wakefield was fought nearby during
the Wars of the Roses when Richard, Duke of York was
killed.
The castle was twice besieged in the 1640s by the Parliamentarians
in the Civil War, and was later stripped of its defences.
Remains of the 13th century stone castle and the motte and bailey can
still be seen.
