Skircoat

The Skircoat district of Calderdale lies to the south of Halifax. It includes, or has included, all or parts of Bolton Brow, Burnley Road, Copley, Heath, Highroad Well, King Cross, Salterhebble, Shaw Hill, Skircoat Green, and Sowerby Bridge.

The name was originally Schircotes and means buildings on the rocks, or, possibly bright buildings.

The name has been spelled in many ways, including Schircotes, Skircotes, Skyecotes, and Skyrcotes.

In the 13th century, the land was granted to the Earl Warren, and then passed to the Savile family.

This was an independent township before being absorbed by the Borough of Halifax in 1892.
