About

Dewsbury Moor Lower and Westtown sit on the western edge of Dewsbury within Kirklees, occupying land that slopes down toward the Calder valley. The neighbourhood is made up mainly of rows of 19th- and 20th-century housing, interspersed with pockets of later social housing and small terraces of shops serving day-to-day needs. Local routes link the area directly with the town centre and neighbouring suburbs, and a visible change in level toward the river plain is part of the local street pattern, with allotments and playing fields tucked into the lower ground.

Community life centres on a handful of primary schools, places of worship and multiuse community halls that host clubs and services. Small industrial units and light commercial premises remain in parts of the area, reflecting Dewsbury’s industrial past. On weekday mornings you can see people moving between homes, shops and workplaces along the familiar streets, and local volunteer groups maintain green spaces and sports pitches used by youth teams and community groups.
