Egypt & The Walls of Jericho, Egypt Road, Thornton, Bradford BD13 3RS



The Walls of Jericho were created between 1847 and 1891 to support the embankments on the road from Egypt to Thornton. The weight of the walls and the earth behind them caused strain. During 1985/86 the walls were demolished for safety reasons and the road widened. The cottages at Egypt still remain. Both names are probably biblical in origin.
