Hunslet Removals

Hunslet is an inner-city area in the south of Leeds, West Yorkshire. Hunslet, although small, is often split up into three different areas; Crown Point, Pottery Fields, and Penny Hill. Hunslet has evolved extensively over the past decades, following in the footsteps of the city of Leeds. It had a plethora of different properties, and it is slowly becoming a hub for industry, which echoes its history.

The Britannia Turnbulls office is located just 3 miles away from Hunslet, in the centre of Leeds. Established in 1876, Britannia Turnbulls are removals and storage experts and are ready to help you move to or from Hunslet, and any of the surrounding areas.
