Brandy Carr is a hamlet in Kirkhamgate in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, north of the eponymous Brandy Carr Hill between the Balne Beck and Carr Gate Beck. Brandy Carr was part of Kirkhamgate civil parish.[1] The nearest settlements are Carr Gate to the north and Wrenthorpe to the southeast.[2] Rhubarb is grown at Brandy Carr Nurseries,[3] and liquorice since its reintroduction in the early 1990s.[4]
