Royds

About the Ward:

Royds is home to Buttershaw - made famous for the 1950s estate that went on to suffer mass unemployment and drugs difficulties. The isolated estate featured in the film Rita, Sue and Bob Too, written by resident Andrea Dunbar.
Whilst the film's accuracy was debated at the time of its release, it is undoubtedly out-of-date now. Royds received over £20 million in support; funding an award-winning Secondary School and successful drugs rehab and education schemes.
Royds has a range of fine features - including Royds Hall and the Delph Hill Centre in Woodside.
Andrea Dunbar tragically died in 1990, aged 29.
