Ryhill

Ryhill

Ryhill is a small village situated on the B6428 road in West Yorkshire, England approximately 7 miles south east of the city of Wakefield.

Like many of the surrounding villages, it is still recovering from the effects of pit closures which has seen the demise of the many collieries which once surrounded the village. The local economy is currently enjoying a return to prosperity as new housing developments have made the village popular with commuters to nearby towns.

The first mention of Ryhill in recorded history is an entry in the 1086 Domesday Book which describes 'Ryhella' as having 4 ploughlands and an area of pasturable woodland.
