Batley

Nestled in the heart of West Yorkshire, Batley is a historic market town that blends rich industrial heritage with vibrant modern life. Part of the Kirklees district, Batley sits conveniently between Leeds and Huddersfield, making it a perfect hub for commuters, shoppers, and history enthusiasts alike.

Batley’s roots stretch back to the Domesday Book of 1086, but it truly flourished in the 19th century as a powerhouse of the textile industry.  The legacy of this industrious era can still be seen in the town’s grand Victorian architecture and historic mills.

Batley is a lively, diverse town with a thriving mix of cultures.  The town’s growing food scene offers everything from classic Yorkshire fare to authentic South Asian cuisine.
