History


Although the name Wrose was established as a place name within the Manor of Idle by the time of Elizabeth I of England, it is not mentioned in the Poll Tax returns of 1379.[2]
The name probably existed as a place name for some time before then.


Rapid house expansion took place in Wrose in the 1930s.
Many houses dating from the time of Charles II were demolished to make way for these new semi-detached properties.[2]


Close to the old quarries to the north west of Wrose was the former Wrose Hill brickworks created for the manufacture of bricks and sanitary tubes.[3]



Geography


Wrose sits on top of a hillside at a height of around 600-foot (180 m) above sea level, overlooking the Aire valley and Bradford valley.
Wrose is surrounded by other areas of Shipley and Bradford such as Windhill, Woodend, West Royd, Idle Moor, Gaisby and Owlet.[4]


Around the hillside (Carr Hill) can be found the remains of many stone quarries, whose growth exploded in the 19th century as the city of Bradford grew with the wool trade.
Many of Bradford's fine Yorkshire millstone buildings are built from these resources.
A quarry at nearby Bolton Woods still operates today.
The geology of the area is that of mudstones, siltstones, fine sandstones, coal, pipeclay, fireclay and ganister as indicated by exposed rocks in the old quarry—parts of which are in a dangerous state.[3]



Governance


Wrose has been civil parish since 2004.[5]
The area is entirely surrounded by unparished areas of Bradford.



Landmarks


Churches in Wrose include St Cuthbert's Church,[6] Bolton Villas Church and Wrose Methodist Church[7]
while the local post office and local branch library are on Wrose Road.[8][9]
Also on Wrose Road are Wrose's two public houses, The Bold Privateer and Wrose Bull.[10]
The Bold Privateer is named after the Earl of Cumberland who owned all the land in the Wrose area in the time of Elizabeth I of England.[2]
The present-day Wrose Bull was originally named The Hare and Hounds after its move to new premises, but at the insistence of locals was renamed for the colloquial name of the original alehouse.[2]
There are listed buildings in Wrose on Snowden Road[11]
and Tudor Barn Court.[12]
