Mirfield is famous for limestone. It is famous as the birthplace of George Wright.
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. According to Edward Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Canterbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
