Known for
The Heavy Woollen District textile capital, Dewsbury Minster, the covered market, Savile Town's remarkable Muslim community, and a Yorkshire mill town that refuses to be forgotten
A little history
Dewsbury was the capital of the shoddy and mungo trade. The town's large Muslim community, particularly in Savile Town, has transformed its character since the mid-20th century.
The covered market is one of Yorkshire's finest. Savile Town — the mosque there is one of the largest in Europe. The Minster for architecture.
