About

Airedale is a residential area located in the southeast of Wakefield, near the border with Pontefract. It is primarily composed of housing estates built in the mid-20th century, featuring a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. The layout is functional, with local shops and services concentrated along Airedale Road. The area is bordered by open farmland to the east, providing a contrast to the built-up residential streets.

A key community facility is the Airedale Library, which serves as a local hub. The area is connected to central Wakefield and surrounding towns via several bus routes. Airedale is situated close to the former Airedale Colliery site, a nod to the area's historical links to the mining industry. The nearby Airedale Park offers green space for recreation amidst the housing.
