Farsley is a village in the Leeds district, in West Yorkshire, England, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Leeds city centre and 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Bradford near Pudsey. Before 1974, Farsley was part of the Borough of Pudsey. Before 1937 it had its own urban district council. The ward of Calverley and Farsley also includes the estate of Swinnow and some northern parts of Pudsey. During the industrial revolution, Farsley was a centre for wool processing as there were a number of mills in the area. Sunny Bank Mills, still owned by the Gaunt family, is currently part of a huge multi-million pound revitalisation project bringing a new appreciation of Farsley's mill heritage. Since 2022 the mills have served as the filming location for series 8 onwards of The Great British Sewing Bee. Farsley is just off the main road between Leeds and Bradford and just off the A6110 Leeds outer ring road. New Pudsey railway station is between Farsley and Pudsey providing train services towards Leeds, Bradford, Manchester Victoria and Blackpool.
