History - Stockinger Lane's name is thought to be linked to the textile trade. During Addingham's weaving boom. Families lived on the lower floors. Looms were housed on the upper floors where large windows provided good light. Some cottages had warehouse space and external loading doors for cloth and yarn.
The village became an important textile centre, supplying cloth and yarn to the growing mills of the Wharfe Valley and Bradford district. The surviving cottages on Stockinger Lane are among the best reminders of this period.
