History of Birstall
Birstall in West Yorkshire is 6 miles south-west of Leeds. It features a quaint triangular Victorian Marketplace which replaced an earlier market on High Street in the Georgian, area of the village further up the hill. There is still a market on Thursdays.
Situated centrally between Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield close to the Trans Pennine M62 Motorway , Birstall has always benefited from good transport links but more recently has seen massive growth because of the expansion of Leeds resulting in a growth of commuters wishing to live in more rural surroundings. At its outskirts, there is also a retail park featuring an IKEA store, Habitat, Next and a large Cinema complex amongst others.
In mid-2008 Birstall received a £900,000 cash injection to improve the aesthetics of the town. This was completed in Late 2008. The town's 19th-century cobbled market place was removed (with large unrest from residents believing the town would lose character, like neighbouring Batley) and replaced with a level stone surface with random cobbled stripes. New lighting has been erected throughout the village centre along with a CCTV system. Village centre roads have also been improved and the overall upgrade of the town has been well received by residents. The opening was celebrated with the official "Christmas light switch on" and a one-of-a-kind Italian Market.
