Cockersdale is a location near Tong, south-west of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The Leeds Country Way follows the valley known as Cockers Dale, along Tong Beck, from the A58 road northwards. The beck forms the boundary between the metropolitan districts of Leeds and Bradford for much of the valley, but the settlement identified on Ordnance Survey maps as Cockersdale is within Leeds.
Cockersdale is a folk music singing group from West Yorkshire, England, founded by Keith Marsden of Morley (died 1991) and revived after his death.
Their albums include Doin' the Manch, recorded in 1988 and later reissued as a CD. The title song, written by Keith Marsden, refers to a pub crawl round the 27 or 28 pubs in Manchester Road, Bradford: "The Manch".
