About

Ossett North is the northern part of Ossett, within the Wakefield metropolitan district of West Yorkshire. The area is primarily residential, with a town centre that supplies everyday shops and independent traders. Small commercial units and family-run businesses sit alongside housing rows and newer estates. The town hosts an independent brewery that draws local interest and occasional taproom events, and several community halls and schools serve neighbourhood needs.

Green spaces and sports facilities punctuate the ward, most notably Storrs Hill, where the town cricket ground is located. Street patterns and some surviving stone buildings reflect the area’s development during the textile and coal eras, and a number of former industrial sites have been adapted for new uses. Road and bus links provide regular connections into Wakefield and surrounding centres, making Ossett North a local hub for shopping, recreation and everyday services.
