Chequerfield unfolds as a quiet suburban expanse within the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire. It lies 1.1 km south-east of Pontefract (from Pontefract: bearing 133°T, OS grid SE 464 212).

Local life in Chequerfield is often marked by the distant hum of activity from neighbouring Pontefract, a town with a rich market heritage, and the occasional glimpse of the expansive skies characteristic of the wider Yorkshire landscape. The residential character of Chequerfield suggests a community built for comfort and domesticity, where the routines of daily life are played out against a backdrop of verdant gardens and the promise of the open countryside just a short distance away.
