More about this scene

Not far from Batley, once home to the world famous Variety Club, Roberttown was part of the industrial heavy woollen district to the south of Leeds. Mills processed cotton and wool, providing clothing and fancy goods for the millions of workers who poured into West Yorkshire in the 19th century. Mining was also prevalent in the district. The name of the village comes from a one-time owner of Liversedge Hall, Robert de Liversedge.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

It sits opposite Roberttown community centre and it used to be a school but it's been renovated now to an apartment block. Luckily, it still resembles my old infants school - I live in America now but I have such fond memories of my childhood growing up in Roberttown. This was before Roberttown Grange was built too, I think that was built around 1974?
