Delph in Saddleworth, Yorkshire

Saddleworth Saddleworth is an area of villages, hamlets and moorland at the western edge of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Saddleworth's villages lie scattered across beautiful landscape, some in the upper dale of the River Tame and others high on the fell slopes of Saddleworth Moor on the west side of the Pennines. The largest of the villages of Saddleworth are Uppermill, Greenfield, Dobcross, Delph and Diggle, none of them large, some reflecting the rural ideal of the Yorkshire dales, other reflecting the influence of the suburban spread out of south Lancashire which they border, but all with their charm. The villages of the Tame dale have in past days been industrial centres, which were served by the Huddersfield Narrow Canal passing through here. (Read more)
