About

Battyeford is a small urban area on the edge of Mirfield in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire. The River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation run alongside the settlement, and their towpaths and floodplain shape the local street plan. The area grew in the nineteenth century with mills and terraces close to the waterways; some former mill buildings remain and have been put to new uses alongside later housing. Street-level shops sit on the main roads and short ginnels connect the residential streets to the riverbank.

Local life centres on a handful of community halls, recreation grounds and clubs that use the riverside open space for football, walking and angling. Bus services link Battyeford to other parts of Kirklees; the nearest rail access is Mirfield station. The navigation's low stone bridges and industrial-era walls are part of everyday routes, and the towpath is used by commuters and weekend walkers. Services for daily needs are within walking distance, while larger facilities are reached by short bus rides.
