About

Burmantofts & Richmond Hill lies directly east of Leeds city centre, characterised by a mix of dense residential streets and former industrial sites. The area's layout is defined by major roads like York Road and the A64, which channel significant traffic through the ward. Housing primarily consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside several modern apartment developments and social housing complexes. The physical landscape is noticeably urban, with the large, open space of Fearnville Fields providing a contrast to the built-up surroundings.

The ward is home to St James's University Hospital, one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, which dominates the local employment and infrastructure. Historical reminders of its industrial past, such as the remaining structures of the Burmantofts Pottery, are integrated into the residential fabric. Local commerce is focused along the main thoroughfares, serving the immediate community. The Leeds & Liverpool Canal forms part of the western boundary, with its towpath offering a route for pedestrians and cyclists away from the main roads.
