About Batley Carr
Batley Carr is a village. Location: Kirklees, England. Elevation: 80 m.
Batley Carr is a district which includes parts of Dewsbury and Batley in West Yorkshire, England. Batley Carr housed workers from the mills of Dewsbury and Batley.

The red brick station master's house still stands, but is now a private residence.
