Healey (Batley): what to know before moving day
Healey contains several council housing estates, and one of them, known as Tin Town, has been undergoing redevelopment with a mix of social housing. Near the centre OpenStreetMap maps many of the homes as semi-detached houses, on streets such as Mortimer Street, Mortimer Avenue, Hill Crest Avenue, West Park Grove, Healey Close and Chaster Street. A second group of roads is named after Yorkshire abbeys and Dales villages, with Abbey Road, Fountains Avenue, Easby Avenue, Malham Drive, Aysgarth Road and Arncliffe Road.
Healey Junior, Infant and Nursery School is close to the centre, with the West Park Road allotments nearby and Jessop's Park as the local green space. Batley Cemetery and the Healey Lane Mills industrial site are both a few hundred metres away. During the Second World War an unexploded bomb was found near Healey Mill, opposite Healey Community Centre.
