The Field Lane Estate comprises some 2,500 people living in 800 homes, 520 of which are social housing and there are some privately owned and privately rented properties too.

Rastrick

The name Rastrick is thought to be Viking in origin, with the "..ick" formation being common to many Norwegian Viking place names, including "Jorvick", the Viking name for York.

Rastrick is a village in the county of West Yorkshire, England, between Halifax and Huddersfield. The population of the Calderdale Civil Ward at the 2011 census was 11,351.[1] It is perhaps best known for its association, along with its neighbour Brighouse, with the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band. Along with Brighouse, it is part of Calderdale, but shares a Huddersfield postcode and phone number.

Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the village is on an incline facing north-east, the Parish Church, is vertically in the middle.

The area around the Parish Church is known as "Top o' t'Town" and the area around the Junction public house is known as "Bottom o' t'Town", this reflects the days when Rastrick had its own governance in the form of a Town Board whose Offices and lock-up were situated halfway between the two, on Ogden Lane.

Remains of a fort have been found at Castle Hill, just below Top o' Town.

Rastrick has its own Library which can be found on Crowtrees Lane and two Doctors surgeries Rastrick Health Centre which is on Chapel Croft and Longroyde Surgery at the junction of Castle Avenue and Field Top Road.

Rastrick has one secondary school, Rastrick High School and several primary schools, including Carr Green Junior, Infant and Nursery School, Castlefields Infants School, Field Lane Primary School and Longroyde Junior School. The William Henry Smith residential SEBD School is on Boothroyd Lane.
