It was served by
Copley railway station from 1856 to 1931. Today the village has a hairdressers, a health spa, a garage,
Land Rover and Camper Van dealerships and one
pub, The Volunteer Arms. St Stephens Church, built in 1861-1865 by Colonel
Edward Akroyd for the workers at his textile mill is an early work of the local architect
William Henry Crossland. The village has two sports clubs, Copley Cricket Club who play in the
Halifax Cricket League and the Old Rishworthian
rugby team. Both clubs are well established and Old Rishworthians currently play in Yorkshire 1 (level 7) of the RFU National League structure. Both clubs are located in picturesque settings with the Calder and Hebble Navigation to the north and the River Calder to the south. The main Leeds to Manchester railway line is near both grounds. Sporting events are held at both locations, as well as various other special functions throughout the year. One of the key computer data centres for
Lloyds Banking Group is located a few miles outside the village. This was formerly the main data centre for
HBOS before the
merger between Lloyds and HBOS. ==Education==
