Rastrick
rastrick.org.ukRastrick Ward Councillor, Paul Rogan.
Rastrick, a name the Vikings gave to the high-ground which they settled, a long-boats pull above a much older river based village established by the Celtic tribe of the Brigantes. There are remains of a Roman fort at Castle Hill, just below "Top o' Town" (Parish Church area). Today RASTRICK is within Calderdale, named after the river Calder which gave the Celts their base and the Vikings their access. When properly conjoined with its sister, Brighouse the two are known throughout the world because of the great success of the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band. Today these sisters have even more to offer.
The area is a main gateway to the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, a unitary local authority of 145,000 electors and 185,000 residents. Calderdale's primary access to the rest of the Country is from junction 25 on the M62. Calderdale has more to offer than simply being the base of the well known and the world's largest Building Society. Just some of the delights include its rugged, stone-wall bounded landscapes, friendly people with typical Yorkshire common sense and warm hearts. Brighouse Town Centre boasts three wonderful, flat shopping streets. We are happy to enjoy a vibrant community spirit with hard working and dedicated residents.
