Farnley Tyas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farnley Tyas is a small village in West Yorkshire 5km (3 miles) south east of Huddersfield. It is located on a hilltop situated between Almondbury, Castle Hill, Thurstonland and Honley. It is mostly comprised of private housing and farmland with a small section of local authority social housing.
Though small, compared to others in the area, it has a Public House, the Golden Cock Inn, a First School catering for around 40 children, aged from 4 to 10 years old, a Bowling club, a small sports field and a church (St. Lucius).
In 2006 A small, local, group was formed to look into the future needs of the village residents, with topics including housing, public amenities and transport.

Extract from Pigot & Co's National Commercial Directory, 1834
FARNLEY TYAS is a township, in the same parish as Honley and Crossland, about three miles from Huddersfield and two from Honley. There are but few manufacturing establishments in this township, and, divested of these, it is a place of little importance. The Earl of Dartmouth contributes £30 annually for the support of a school, in which thirty children are instructed. The population of this township has latterly declined: in 1821 it contained 900 inhabitants, and in 1831, 849. [1]
