3About Oakes
Oakes forms part of Huddersfield's hillside suburbs in West Yorkshire, reached via the A629 from Junction 24 of the M62. The town sits amongst the Pennine foothills where former textile mills have given way to residential streets. Local routes connect through Quarmby to Lindley and across to the Colne Valley, whilst longer journeys continue north toward Halifax or south into Manchester via the M62 corridor. The Former Lockwood Baths stands as a reminder of the area's Victorian public health heritage.
