About

Earlsheaton and Chickenley lie to the north‑west of Dewsbury in Kirklees, made up mainly of housing from different periods and pockets of green space. The neighbourhoods sit above the Calder valley and step down toward the town, so some streets have views over the valley floor. A mix of terraced streets, semi‑detached homes and a post‑war council estate at Chickenley gives the area a clear residential character, and small rows of shops and community venues serve everyday needs.

Community activity centres on local schools, a handful of churches and sports pitches, with allotments and playing fields close to housing. Regular bus services connect the area with Dewsbury town centre and other parts of West Yorkshire. Local projects have focused on improving public spaces and tackling traffic on through routes, and residents use nearby cycle and foot paths for short trips and recreation. The combination of close‑in urban services and quick access to surrounding countryside shapes daily life here.
