Mytholmroyd
Mytholmroyd ( ) is a large village in the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England, east of Hebden Bridge. It lies in the Upper Calder Valley, east of Burnley and west of Halifax. There are than 21 listed buildings in the village. Toponym Mytholmroyd was recorded in the 13th century as "Mithomrode" and in the 17th century as "Mitholmroide". The name means 'a clearing for settlement, where two rivers meet', likely derived from the Old English ''(ġe)mȳthum'' (inflected form of ''(ġe)mȳthe'', "river mouth"), plus ''rodu'' ("field" or "clearing").

Mickey Dale
Michael William Dale (born 22 March 1968) is the keyboardist for the English rock indie band, Embrace. He grew up in the Heaton area of Bradford, West Yorkshire. History Before joining Embrace, he had previous experience with local bands Poppy Factory, Kitsch, Copingsaw, Lazer Boy and more famously Cud, who enjoyed moderate success themselves, including three Top 40 singles. With Poppy Factory he released one EP and three singles. Their debut, the ''Fabulous Beast'' EP, met critical acclaim and was played by a number of radio DJs and stations (it was notably thrashed by Rock FM's Tim Lancaster), though its chart performance did not match industry reception. Next came the 7-inch "Stars", and then "7x7" (composers Cotton/Dale/MacDonald), produced by David Creffield. An album entitled Good Time, which was promoted as 'forthcoming' on the rear sleeve of "Stars" never saw the light of day and the band's contract with Chrysalis foundered.
