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.
