About

South Elmsall is a former mining town situated in the eastern part of the Wakefield district. The area's layout and housing, including many interwar semis, reflect its 20th-century development around the coal industry. Its economy is now based on local retail and light industry, with the large South Elmsall Market serving as a central hub for the surrounding villages.

The landscape is characterised by flat, open farmland immediately giving way to residential streets. A notable local feature is the annual South Elmsall Gala, a community event with a history stretching back over a century, which includes a parade and traditional fairground. The area provides practical residential amenities with direct transport links to nearby towns.
