About

Knottingley ward lies in the eastern part of the Wakefield district, situated on the north bank of the River Aire. Historically a centre for glassmaking and river trade, its landscape is characterised by industrial heritage and waterways. The ward includes the main town of Knottingley itself, along with the smaller settlement of Ferrybridge, known for its notable power station landmarks that have dominated the skyline for decades.

The area is defined by its working river, with the Aire and Calder Navigation providing a constant presence. Land use is a mix of residential streets, older industrial estates, and pockets of green space along the watercourses. Community life often focuses on local clubs and the surviving pubs that speak to its past as a busy inland port.
