Wetherby Bridge, which spans the River Wharfe, is
a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II listed structure. As
a result of its situation on the main road, a large number of coaching
inns were established in Wetherby, and many are still used today
by travellers. The Old Great North Road is still in place and "Toll
Bar House" is still present today. It underwent refurbishment
in the late 90's but the main part of the house is unchanged apart
from the two chimney pots being reversed during the refurbishment.
Historically a part of the Wapentake of Skyrack
within the West Riding of Yorkshire, Wetherby is mentioned in the
Domesday Book of 1086 as Wedrebi, thought to derive from wether-
or ram-farm or else meaning "settlement on the bend of a river".
Local folklore has it that when heavy snow storms hit the county,
Wetherby does not get as much because the Weather Goes By.
The village has two pubs, the Old Star Inn and the
Half Moon Inn , where Oliver Cromwell is said to have spent the
night after the Battle of Marston Moor. There is a Post Office,
a variety of shops and service businesses, a sports centre and a
primary school. The village church is St Oswald.
Collingham is home to Collingham and Linton Cricket
Club which plays in the Airedale-Wharfedale Senior Cricket League.
This is located at the Collingham and Linton Sports Association
(CALSA), which boasts three indoor squash courts, a football pitch
and a cricket pitch. CALSA also has affiliated tennis and hockey
sections.
Collingham once had a railway station on the Cross
Gates to Wetherby line. The station was named 'Collingham Bridge'
to avoid confusion with Collingham railway station in Collingham,
Nottinghamshire and was the station before Wetherby railway station.
The railway bridge over the River Wharfe, which once ran adjacent
to the Linton road bridge (pictured left) was demolished in 1965
when the railway was dismantled. Collingham is now served by the
98, X98 and 99 bus services which run between Leeds City Square
and Wetherby Deighton Bar (each running a slightly different route,
the 99 terminating instead at Wetherby bus station). These services
are run by First Leeds.
The village adjoins the neighbouring village of
Linton and the neighbouring town of Wetherby. Between the three
places, the only break in buildings is the crossing over the River
Wharfe. Between Collingham and Leeds, the A58 is mainly built up
by the villages of Bardsey and Scarcroft and the village of Bardsey
cum Rigton.
Collingham is a village and civil parish 2 miles
(3 km) south east of Wetherby in West Yorkshire, England. It is
in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough. The clergyman, theReverend
William Mompesson was born there in 1639.
Wetherby is a market town and civil parish within
the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds, in West Yorkshire,
England. It stands on the River Wharfe, and has been for centuries
a crossing place and staging post on the Great North Road, being
mid-way between London and Edinburgh. It has a population of 11,155.
The village school, Lady Elizabeth Hastings Church
of England Primary School, is located off the Harewood Road opposite
the cricket pitch.
The River Wharfe runs through the village towards
Wetherby, as does the main A58 trans-Pennine road. The A659 passes
through the village. The River Wharfe is particularly dangerous
at Collingham, with undercurrents particularly prevalent, particularly
around the Linton Road Bridge and the former viaduct. The Collingham
Beck burst its banks in 2007 causing extensive flooding.
The Wetherby golf course extends all the way to
the river at Collingham.
