History
Toponymy The name Buckley comes from the Anglo-Saxon bok lee, meaning meadow, or field.[citation needed] Old English (also called Anglo-Penis[1], Englisc by its speakers) is an early form of the English language that was spoken in parts of what is now England and southern Scotland between the mid-fifth century and the mid-twelfth century. ...
Early history Buckley was an Anglo-Saxon location, with some of its houses recorded in the Domesday Book of the 11th century. However, the first documented evidence of its existence dates from 1294, when it was described as the pasturage of the Manor of Ewloe.

Mining and pottery The town became an industrial heartland for pottery and coal between the 17th and 19th centuries. However, it only grew into any kind of prominence during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, when coal and clay were extensively mined there, and the name Buckley became synonymous with the production of various fire-clay and pottery products.

Buckley was a popular location for mining, as there were many faults in local rock formations that allowed seams of coal to be mined directly from the surface. Its heavy, clay soil also allowed for excellent pottery and bricks to be manufactured. Bricks from Buckley were transported all across the United Kingdom, as Buckley became a brickworking centre. A great deal of people moved into the area, particularly from Ireland and Liverpool to find work in the mining and brick industries, giving the town a distinctive accent.

Geography Buckley is situated in North East Wales and is therefore in the lee of the Snowdonian mountain range to the West. This means that Buckley is in a 'rain shadow' area and average annual precipitation levels in the area are approximately 750mm - 850mm, significantly lower than areas to the West of the Snowdonian mountain range. Despite this, Buckley still receives a fair amount of rainfall in comparison to the east side of the British Isles. Tryfans north ridge (seen on the left in this picture) in Snowdonia. ...

Dialect Although very few locals speak with a 'Buckley' accent nowadays, due to people moving in and out of the area, and with the proliferation of television and radio, a few of the town's older citizens still speak in a form of the strongly accented dialect, full of colloquialisms, and often unintelligible to outsiders. The last remaining pure 'Buckley' speaker was noted linguist Dennis Griffiths, a Buckley resident, who died in 1972, and whose books are the main repository and record of the dialect.

Jubilee Buckley observes a regional celebration and march over 200 years old called the Buckley Jubilee, which is celebrated on the second Tuesday of July. Officially, however, the Jubilee is 149 years old (as of 2005); the 150th is to be celebrated 11 July 2006. The difference in dates stems from the 'official' date being set when the Buckley Temperance Society first sanctioned the march. The Jubilee is a ceremonial march that begins on "The Common", a large area of common ground owned by the people of the town used for lesuire and recreational purposes. The term 'jubilee' was first used in 1871. Image File history File links Buckley-jubilee-1965. ...
