Elland is a market town in Calderdale, in the English county of West Yorkshire. It is situated south of Halifax, near the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. Reported as ‘Elant’ in the Domesday Book of 1086, the name of the town comes from the Old English term meaning ‘land by the water, river or land in part or entirely encompassed by water’. At the time of the 2011 Census, Elland had a permanent population of 11676. Elland has a long and recognised history as a production and trading town. The town was given a charter to host a market on Tuesdays in the 14th century, to be convened at the Manor of Elland and at 2 fairs through the year. The town quickly transformed into a prime location for wool production, and its decrease in the 20th century had a pronounced effect on the population, with lots of mills being converted to properties, if they were not demolished. Quarried near the town after the establishment of the canal, long lasting flagstones were transported cheaply around the country. Elland was the home to the main factory of the manufacturer of Gannex goods and it is at present the the home of the Dobsons sweet factory, which manufactures a variety of more traditional kinds of boiled sweets. Suma Wholefoods has actually been based in the town since 2001, which is the largest worker’s co-operative. A number of landmarks are also discovered in the area, including St. Mary the Virgin parish church, the Old Town Hall and Southgate Methodist Church.
