Between Dewsbury and Batley
Hanging Heaton is the housing on the ridge between the two towns. People move here from Earlsheaton and Chickenley, or across from Batley while staying with our Dewsbury crew. House removals covers the full home. A shorter hop with part of the furniture is a local move.
The postcode is typically WF17, the same outward code as Batley, which surprises people who think of the village as Dewsbury. Give us the full postcode. Streets can be quiet, then tight near junctions. School times and the roads toward Batley are the usual delays.
Batley Library Hub is the Kirklees hub on this side. Dewsbury Library Hub is the alternative if you are already going into town. Buses listed by Metro at Batley bus station on St James Street are often as relevant as Dewsbury bus station.
