Selside was mentioned, in the form Selesat, in the Domesday Book, when it was held by Roger of Poitou.[1] The place name is derived from the Old Norse selja "willow" and sǽtr "mountain pasture" or "shieling".[2]
Selside lies on the Settle to Carlisle railway line. The Selside signal box, built in 1907, was moved in 1976 from the line to Steamtown Carnforth in Lancashire.[3]
