Jackson Bridge is a small village in the civil parish of Holme Valley in the Kirklees in West Yorkshire, England and within the postal district of Holmfirth. It is situated next to the A616, Huddersfield to Penistone, road.
Dobroyd Mills, which once dominated the village, was a major contributor to the West Yorkshire textile industry, producing fine worsted cloth for export. At the end of their use the mill buildings housed a fine yarn spinners, John Woodheads (Dobroyd Mills) Ltd, plus other small businesses such as computer services and facilities, engineering, sheet metal works and motor vehicle services. After a period of dereliction, the complex was demolished in 2020.
Most of the surrounding countryside is given over to agriculture, significantly milk cattle and sheep.
The village is known as 'Jigby' by locals.
