About

Cowlersley and Milnsbridge lie on the western side of Kirklees, arranged along the Colne valley. Milnsbridge sits beside the River Colne with the A62 Huddersfield Road running through the centre; a brick railway viaduct and a small station mark the riverside strip. Cowlersley occupies the slopes above the valley, with streets of terraced housing and pockets of council housing. The river corridor contains former textile mill sites and narrow service streets that follow the original mill layout.

Local life revolves around small shops, primary schools and community halls that host clubs and groups. Some former mill buildings have been converted to workshops and storage, while others remain in industrial use. Regular bus services run along Huddersfield Road and footpaths link the two districts with riverside walks. Community initiatives have focused on riverbank clearance and improving play areas, and the viaduct remains a constant landmark in views across the valley.
