About

Holgate ward lies to the west of York's city centre, bordered by the East Coast Main Line and the River Ouse. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar semis, and modern housing developments. Its main thoroughfare is Leeman Road, which leads towards the National Railway Museum and York Station. The ward contains several local businesses, schools, and community facilities like the Holgate Windmill pub, serving its settled population.

A notable local landmark is the fully restored Holgate Windmill itself, a five-sailed tower mill built in 1770. It stands as a rare survivor within a city environment. The ward also includes the large, modern Terry's Chocolate Factory redevelopment site. Green spaces are provided by the long, narrow Hob Moor, a traditional grazing common, and the nearby Millennium Fields.
