Good afternoon. We are thrilled to bits. We had a visit from Wakefield CAMRA members this afternoon. They presented us with 'Pub of the Season Award' for Spring 2026, this is our third such award in as many years. We also received this years 'Tetley Dave' Award on behalf of our late landlord Paul Windmill. Paul is the first posthumous winner of this beautiful piece of glass, which acknowledges an outstanding contribution to the promotion of real ale and public house culture. Ian Clayton made a speech about Paul and how he had envisaged The Bradley Arms as a traditional inn that served its community by serving good ale in an atmosphere of warmth, welcome and friendship for all. And how Alison had continued the legacy. (Recently being awarded licensee of the year herself). The Brad's goes from strength to strength.

History Monday
Ackton Lane

We continue our series looking at how local streets came by their names.

Ackton has an ancient history. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book has ‘Aitone’ and is sometimes spelled ‘Aketon.’ To this day there is a road sign in nearby Cutsyke, that still spells it this way. It should always be pronounced the Old English way with a long A, as in acorn. This is apt, because Ackton means ‘Farm where the oak trees grow.’
At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 the writers found two villeins and six boarders lived here and between them had two ploughs. Villeins in those days were peasant farmers who owned enough land to feed their families, boarders were the lowest social class, relying on land owners for work in exchange for food and shelter.
By the time of the Poll Tax in 1379 Ackton was developing as a village. And due to the fact that fourpence apiece was collected from some of the peasants, we know some of their names; William Clerkson and his wife Joan lived here as did Robert de Balne and his wife Christine, John de Flanders and his wife Joan and their servants John Plumbto and Margaret.
The first coal mining undertaken in the Featherstone area was at Ackton where the shallow seams came to the surface. In 1278 Robert de Wethley was fined for digging coal to the detriment of the Kings Highway and in 1322 Richard Fitzrobert was granted permission to dig small amounts of coal near the Sewerbridge beck on Featherstone Moor.
