has gloss | eng: Savile Town is a small area of Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, England. It lies just to the south of the River Calder and just north of a railway line. It consists of late Victorian housing, which varies between long terraces, semi-detached and detached housing. The mills on the banks of the Calder supplied employment to Savile Town for several decades; these were mostly woollen, but also some cotton. As the mills closed, the area became very run-down, and the banks of the Calder was, for a long time, the largest Brownfield site in the country. Recent regeneration has seen most of the units now reoccupied; Clinton Cards, is based in the area. |
