About

Armley and New Wortley sit to the west of Leeds city centre and form a compact urban district. Armley Town Street provides shops, takeaways and local services along a busy route; residential streets branch off into terraces and later housing. New Wortley lies immediately adjacent and is mainly residential with a community centre, primary schools and small green spaces. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the River Aire run through Armley; towpaths are used by walkers and cyclists and link the neighbourhood to nearby industrial heritage along the water.
The Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills occupies a large former mill on Canal Road and displays textile machinery, transport exhibits and occasional steam-engine demonstrations. St Bartholomew's Church and Armley Park provide community meeting places, sports pitches and a playground. Local pubs, allotments and social projects are active in the area and there are regular neighbourhood initiatives addressing housing and services. Public transport along Town Street and near the ring road gives frequent bus links to other parts of Leeds.
