About Batley
Where to Find Us
Batley sits in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire, positioned roughly 8 miles southwest of Leeds and 7 miles southeast of Bradford. The town's coordinates are 53.7169° N, 1.6367° W.
The M62 motorway runs close by, while the A653 provides direct access into town. Batley railway station offers regular services toward Leeds and Huddersfield.
A Mill Town's Story
Batley rose to prominence during the nineteenth century as a centre for wool recycling. The shoddy and mungo trades—processes that turned old woollen rags into new cloth—put this town on the map. Mills lined the valley floors, and generations of families found employment in the textile works.
Though those industries have largely faded, the architectural legacy remains. Grand Victorian buildings stand alongside modern developments, and a multicultural community breathes new energy into the old market town streets.

Our taxi service fills the gaps—door-to-door travel without timetables or parking worries.
Places Worth Visiting
Batley rewards curious visitors with the eclectic collections at Bagshaw Museum, the bustle of Batley Market Place, and peaceful green space at Wilton Park. Independent shops and cafés add local flavour.
Community spirit shows itself through regular events, cultural festivals, and a genuine sense of neighbourhood pride.
