Ossett is a market town within the metropolitan district of the City of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is halfway between Dewsbury, to the west, and Wakefield, to the east. At the 2011 Census the population of the Ossett ward was 16,116 , but part of the town is in Horbury and South Ossett. The popoulation of the WF5 Ossett postcode district was 21,231 The town is roughly halfway between the west and east coasts of England.
Ossett derives from the Anglo Saxon and is either the fold of a man named Osla or a fold frequented by blackbirds. Ossett is sometimes misspelled as Osset. In Ellis' On Early English Pronunciation, one of the founding works of British linguistics, the incorrect spelling is used.
Ossett was, for a brief period in the 19th century, a spa town. Having been founded by a local stonemason who was inspired by Harrogate and Cheltenham, the waters were popular with those seeking relief from certain skin diseases in the early 19th century, but it remained a small spa during this period. In the 1870s, a plan to transform Ossett into a second Harrogate ended in failure, and the spa closed as a result. The south-east of the town is still known as Ossett Spa.
Trinity Church was consecrated in 1865 and its spire which rises to 226 feet is a landmark that can be seen for miles around. A red phone booth in Ossett town centre, opposite the Kingsway roundabout, is a grade II listed building. Ossett Town Hall celebrated its centenary in June 2008. Gawthorpe, an area of north Ossett, is known for its landmark water tower.
The Romans constructed a road from Halifax to Wakefield, this road became a turnpike road in 1741, its route is roughly similar to the modern day Dewsbury Road. Streetside Post Office is a reminder of the Roman origins of the road. The M1 motorway between Junctions 40 and 42 to the east of Ossett was opened in April 1967. The stretch from junction 38 to 40 was opened in October 1968. The Highways Agency have plans to widen the M1 to 4 lanes between Chesterfield and Leeds. In 2004 a bus station was opened in the town built by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive replacing an earlier bus station constructed in the 1970s.
The railways arrived in Ossett in 1862 when the Bradford, Wakefield & Leeds Railway company opened a branch line to Flushdyke. The line was extended to Ossett in 1864 and then onto Dewsbury and Batley. Ossett railway station, located roughly where Southdale Gardens now is, was opened in 1889 by the Great Northern Railway. The line ran underneath Station Road and the bump in the road today is the only reminder of the bridge that used to exist there until its removal in the 1980s. The railway station closed in 1964. The town was close to four other railway stations: Chickenley Heath closed in 1911, Earlsheaton in 1953, Flushdyke closed in 1941 and Horbury & Ossett in 1970. It is now the largest town in Yorkshire and one of the largest towns in Britain without a railway station. Railway sidings and yards are still to be found at the old Horbury & Ossett railway station site and Healey Mills Marshalling Yard where Queen Elizabeth II spent a night aboard the royal train during her 1977 Silver Jubilee tour.

Ride on the Dewsbury and Ossett Greenway
Just under a mile starting at the new Savile town end (near Markazi mosque) and ending at the site of the old Earlsheaton station, just the other side of the newly reopened Earlsheaton tunnel. The wheezing is me - sorry for being unfit! Turn the sound down if it bothers you...

High Speed Tour around Wakefield, 1973/4 - SLOWED DOWN
High speed tour of Wakefield in early 1970s. Shot on Super 8, manually shooting one frame per second by cable release. Camera mounted in passenger window of car. Slowed down 3 times.
Date is estimated at 1973 or 1974, because we drive along Kirkgate which was pedestrianised shortly afterwards.
Route is from Sandal to Wakefield city centre along Barnsley Road, along Kirkgate, then along Westgate, Balne Lane, Batley Road, past Silcoates School, Wrenthorpe Lane, Northgate, Barnsley Road back to Sandal, then out towards Kettlethorpe and to J39 of M1.
Here's the route on a map Note that after crossing the Calder, we turned right from Ings Road into Grove Street after going under the railway bridge near Kirkgate station, which is not permitted nowadays. Also note the straight line sections across the middle of modern buildings just after turning right off Westgate into Drury Lane, and between the southern end of Northgate (near QEGS) and the roundabout with Kirkgate - roads have been re-aligned in those two places.
The trip at the end from our house to Kettlethorpe was to take the piano teacher home, and the final second is going under the M1 at J39 and turning north onto the M1 to go to my grandparents in Ossett - at which point we ran out of film :-(
