Brotherton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, sitting on the county boundary with West Yorkshire close to Knottingley and Ferrybridge. Its position beside regional transport routes gives a mix of agricultural landscape and commuter residents who travel to nearby centres such as Leeds and Wakefield, while proximity to historic waterways and former industrial towns has influenced local employment and land use.
The village has a long history and was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until the 1974 local government reorganisation; a parish church, village hall and a handful of older buildings hint at that past. Today Brotherton retains a village community feel with local groups and events, offering countryside living with relatively easy access to services in surrounding towns and the wider region.
