About

Normanton West is a residential district situated on the western edge of Wakefield. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes built through the mid-20th century. Local amenities are focused along Church Lane and Castleford Road, which serve as the main thoroughfares for shops and services. The community is anchored by several primary schools and local parks, providing green spaces for recreation within the urban layout.

The area's landscape is subtly shaped by its industrial past, with the former Normanton Gas Works site having been redeveloped for housing. Normanton Golf Club offers a large green expanse on its southern fringe. A notable local landmark is the distinctively designed Normanton Water Tower, a prominent feature on the skyline. Public transport connections, including the nearby Normanton railway station, provide direct links to Wakefield city centre and Leeds.
