Jackson Bridge
The White Horse, Jackson BridgeBank Street, Jackson BridgeJackson BridgeJackson Bridge is a small village 1.8 miles south-south-east of Huddersfield town centre (6 miles by road) and 1.8 miles east-south-east of Holmfirth (3 miles by road).
Situated at a bridge over the Jackson Bridge Dike, it is close to neighbouring villages of Hepworth and Scholes and just under a mile south of New Mill along the A616.
Jackson Bridge was a regular location in the BBC's longest-run comedy series "Last of the Summer Wine", which was filmed around the Holmfirth area.
Dobroyd Mills was a large mill between Jackson Bridge and the neighbouring village of Hepworth. Its origins as a textile mill date back to 1829, but in recent years it has had new uses and has recently been the subject of major redevelopment proposals including new housing. The Hepworth Band, formed in 1882, has its bandroom at the Dobroyd Mills site in Jackson Bridge.
When New Mill had its own Urban District Council between 1895 and 1938, before it merged into the Holmfirth urban district, the council had offices at Jackson Bridge.
