Durkar is a small village in the southwestern suburbs of the city of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, UK. It is bordered by the parish of Crigglestone to the southwest and Kettlethorpe, Standbridge and Sandal to the east. It is under the local administration of Crigglstone Parish Council with authoritative powers exercised by Wakefield Metropolitan District Council. It has a fish and chip shop (slated for being kept too long) actually adam i find the fish and chips very nice and it's nearest schools are Kettlethorpe High and St james CofE Junior. There is also a pub which my dad visits every friday situated in the village, the New Inn which still sells original hand pulled bitters and guinness... it also has a shop which is good for topping your phone up and buying sweets without your parents ever finding out

Its unusual name derives from the fact it was called dirt car but locals didnt like the name and hence shortened it to durkar

Currently, Durkar is a sought after place of residence due to its location and local amenities. It is next to Junction 39 of the M1 motorway with Leeds only 10 miles to the north and other large cities such as Sheffield and Manchester less than 45 minutes drive away. It also lies next to a main arterial road into Wakefield, the A636 for easy commuting into the city centre.
