Denby Dale is a village and civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, England.

[4] The River Dearne runs through the village; in the floods of 2007 it burst its banks on two occasions and caused damage to Springfield Mill.

[citation needed] The village is served by Denby Dale railway station,[6] and also has 2 bus stops.

Denby Dale has a tradition of baking giant pies, which started in 1788 to celebrate the recovery of King George III from mental illness.

In August 1887, a pie baked to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria spoiled and was buried in quicklime.

[13] In 1940 it was agreed by the Denby Dale Local Comforts Fund, the giant pie dish would be sold for scrap to help the war effort.
