Knottingley, inextricably linked with Ferrybridge, is a West Yorkshire town whose history is tied to travel and industry, and remarkably it has managed to retain certain elements of that industrial history as thriving enterprises today, providing employment for many of its population of some 17,000. The name of Knottingley is derived from the Anglo-Saxon, and originally meant the clearing belonging to Cnottas family (or possibly Knuts).

This was indeed an Anglo-Saxon settlement, though the ancient monument of Ferrybridge Henge shows it was significant long before then. The crossing over the Aire at Ferrybridge was of importance for many centuries. A bridge was built there in 1198, and another to replace it two centuries later. Located on the Great North Road linking London with York and Edinburgh beyond that, the town became an important staging place for the coach traffic on that route. The traffic continued to develop until in 1804 it was necessary to build a wider bridge to cope. This bridge was also made higher to allow easier passage of the barge traffic on the Aire and Calder Navigation.

Knottingley was an inland port of some note, the last navigable point on the Aire until the Aire and Calder Navigation enabled barges to make it to Leeds. Indeed there were shipyards in the town building and maintaining both inland vessels and seagoing ones. Pottery was a significant industry for the town from the 19th century until as late as the 1940s, when the Australian pottery, opened to cater for that countrys needs, finally closed. Glass was also important, and remains so. And the town has Kellingley colliery still operating, helped by the proximity of the huge power station at Ferrybridge (its enormous cooling towers impossible to miss as you drive past on the A1). Given its position Knottingley is easy to access, travelling the A1 up or down the country or the M62 across it. Its a good central point for racing fans, with Pontefract on the doorstep and York, Wetherby and Doncaster an easy car trip away.
