Road transport links are provided by the A629 and B6116. Within the village there is the Shelley Hall, which was built in the early 17th century. ==Amenities== The closure of the United Reformed Church, Water Lane left Shelley with two places of worship: the Methodist Church, off Far Bank () and the Church of England's Emmanuel Church, Huddersfield Road.() The village has three pubs: The Rising Sun, The Flying Ferret (formerly Oddfellows) and Shelley Sports and Social Club whilst The Three Acres Inn and Restaurant is located at Roydhouse, Shelley. The Emley Moor TV mast also towers over the village. Shelley won Village of the Year in 2004; every club in the village was involved and the entry was coordinated by Mrs Ann Priestman BEM (Community Association President). Shelley is believed to have been founded upon agriculture but weaving was also very important to the village. Barncliffe Mill at Brookhouse, former home to Shelley Textiles, became the headquarters for Whitley Willows Ltd after the closure of the Lepton mill.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shelley, West Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
