WEST YORKSHIRE CHAT ROOMS
Welcome to the West Yorkshire chat rooms page here is a bit of information about South Yorkshire and the surrounding area.
West Yorkshire is a landlocked county with a population of just over 2 million, consisting of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. It is bordered by South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Derbyshire. West Yorkshire was formed in 1974 and covers roughly the same area as the historic West Riding of Yorkshire. It lies on rocks of carboniferous age which form the south Pennines to the west and the Yorkshire coalfield to the east. West Yorkshire developed around a number of industries, Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield were home to woollen mills, whilst Leeds manufactured cloth. Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract and South Leeds were traditional coal mining areas. Leeds has recently attracted investment from financial institutions and has become known as a centre of finance, whilst Wakefield has also moved into service based industries and boasts a number of large call centres. Two of the big four supermarkets hail from West Yorkshire - Morrisons is based in Bradford and Asda in Leeds. Emley Moor is the site of the tallest self-supporting structure in the UK! In West Yorkshire Chat Rooms you will meet people who live in Wilsden, Todmorden, Marsden, Wetherby and Featherstone.
