During the Industrial Revolution, Calderdale became a hub for textile manufacturing, with several mills being established in the area including Kebroyd Silk Mills.^[6]

There are several Grade II listed buildings dating to the 17th century in Kebroyd, including Kebroyd Hall, Denton House and the row of Mill cottages on Halifax Road.^[7]^[8]
