The Life and Work of Edward Crossley 1841 – 1905
Bryan Harkness joins us to share the fascinating story of Edward Crossley.
Crossley became the managing director of Crossley Carpets at the young age of 23. His newfound status allowed him to build Bermerside House at Skircoat in Halifax.
Since his early teens, he had been interested in astronomy and built a large observatory at Bermerside. He became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1867. He purchased two telescopes, one of which became known as the Crossley reflector and was used for research in California to discover two moons of Jupiter.
