Brighouse, in the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, has a population of around 33,100 — a Calder Valley town built on water and wool.
A canal basin and a brass band that topped the charts
Brighouse grew up around the Calder and Hebble Navigation, and the canal basin in the town centre was once a busy trans-shipment point for wool, coal and other goods moving between the West Yorkshire mills and the wider canal network. That basin has since been restored and is now a focal point of the town centre rather than a working wharf.
Brighouse is also home to the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band, founded in 1881 and still one of the best-known brass bands in the country — its 1977 recording of 'The Floral Dance' reached number two in the UK singles chart, an unlikely hit that put the town on the map nationally.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Neither the canal trade nor the brass band tradition left Brighouse with a dedicated sweet shop — nothing local stocking bulk bags, vegan ranges or halal-friendly sweets in real depth.
