Information about Buckley, UK
Buckley (Welsh: Bwcle) is a town and community in Flintshire, Wales. It is the second largest town in Flintshire in terms of population, and is 2 miles (3.2 km) from Mold, the county town. It is located on the A549 road, with the larger A55 road passing nearby, and is in the Alyn and Deeside parliamentary constituency.
It is contiguous with the nearby villages of Ewloe, Alltami (which are both under the jurisdiction of Buckley town council) and Mynydd Isa.
Notable nearby landmarks include Ewloe Castle.
The name Buckley may derive from the Old English bok lee, meaning meadow, or field.
Buckley was an Anglo-Saxon location, with some of its houses recorded in the Domesday Book of the 11th century. However, the first documented evidence of its existence dates from 1294, when it was described as the pasturage of the Manor of Ewloe.
The town became an industrial heartland for pottery and coal between the 17th and 19th centuries. However, it only grew into any kind of prominence during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, when coal and clay were extensively mined there, and the name Buckley became synonymous with the production of various fire-clay and pottery products.
Buckley was a popular location for mining, as there were many faults in local rock formations that allowed seams of coal to be mined directly from the surface. Its heavy, clay soil also allowed for excellent pottery and bricks to be manufactured. Bricks from Buckley were transported all across the United Kingdom and as far as the United States, as Buckley became a brickworking centre. A great deal of people moved into the area, particularly from Ireland and Liverpool to find work in the mining and brick industries, giving the town a distinctive accent.
Many pottery and earthenware products manufactured were taken on the backs of donkeys to either Chester market or exported via the River Dee, as early as the reign of Elizabeth I. The last pottery kiln was fired in 1946. However, a local cement works is still in operation.
In 1932, a tradition started in Buckley of running an annual pantomime. Dennis Griffiths produced a version of Dick Whittington in 1933, and ran the pantomime for 27 years, famously using the programme to invite any and all complaints to arrive written "on the back of a 10 shilling note (non-returnable)".
In the Second World War, a plane, most likely on its way to Liverpool was shot down and crash landed in a nearby district, with the plane's engine crashing into the Trap. The pilot survived, was captured and taken to Hawarden Prisoner of War camp.
Buckley is situated in North East Wales and is therefore in the lee of the Snowdonian mountain range to the West. This means that Buckley is in a 'rain shadow' area and average annual precipitation levels in the area are about 750 mm–850 mm, significantly lower than areas to the West of the Snowdonian mountain range. Despite this, Buckley still receives a fair amount of rainfall in comparison to the east side of Great Britain.
