History

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes through the village. The Bradley section of the canal was completed in 1775. Upon entering the village there is a swing bridge crossing the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. A coal business was eventually established on the left of the swing bridge, complete with a wharf and weighbridge, while a coal stay and canal wharf occupied a large area to the right. Coal barges pulled by boat were a regular sight. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a canal in the north of England running from Liverpool, Merseyside to Leeds, West Yorkshire. ... The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a canal in the north of England running from Liverpool, Merseyside to Leeds, West Yorkshire. ...

Bradley Mill constructed in the 1860s was renovated into 28 homes in 2005, developed by Novo Homes. The project gained good reviews.

The primary school "Bradleys Both Community Primary School", was built in 1914. The name derives from the fact that the village is divided into two parts - Low Bradley and High Bradley.

Industry

In the past, quarrying supplied slate and stone for building materials but most of the villagers were engaged in hand looming and wool combing in their own homes.

In the mid 1860's, industry started to develop in Bradley in the form of spinning and weaving mills, providing much needed employment.

Weaving is still carried out at Rose Shed today.
