Historical Geography information for Pudsey, Yorkshire, England
| Place Name | Pudsey |
| Description | Pudsey is a market town in West Yorkshire, England. Once independent, it was incorporated into the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in 1974. The place-name Pudsey is first recorded in the Domesday Book as Podechesaie and Podechesai, in 1086. In the early sixth century the district was in the Kingdom of Elmet, which seems to have retained its Celtic character for perhaps as many as two centuries after other neighbouring kingdoms had adopted the cultural identity of the Angles. The town was famous in the 18th and 19th centuries for wool manufacture, and, from the 19th century, for cricket. |
