Wetherby

Wetherby, a rural market town thought to be named after an invading Scottish raider in 1318, is a part of the City of Leeds – where a large number of its 11,150 locals commute to work.

Yet people aren’t the town’s only export, if you’ve ever bought own-brand gravy from a supermarket, it came from Wetherby – Goldenfry supply the entire country with Yorkshire’s second favourite liquid. Though brewed beer during the Victorian-era too, when it also had a mill to its name.

It wasn’t until the Second World War that Wetherby came into its own, when munitions factories sprung up in the new Sandbeck Industrial Estate – and when local lad Ginger Lacey famously became a Battle of Britain flying ace.

Before that, Wetherby was a prominent rest stop for travellers making their way along the Old Great North Road, and today it’s a hotspot for talented local tradesmen.

From cleaners in Linton and vehicle services in Kirk Deighton to kitchen installers in Ingmanthorpe, take your pick of local tradesmen in our Wetherby directory.

Are you after made-to-measure clothing such as a dress, skirt or trousers?

Perhaps it is something more specialist like a bespoke wedding dress or other bridal wear. Find local professional dressmakers to construct, alter, repair or revise any kind of custom clothing.

If you need somebody who can perform alterations, sew hems, fix tears, mend zippers and apply buttons, you’re in the right place.
