About

Morley East sits on the eastern side of Morley, centred on Queen Street and the market area. The high street mixes independent shops, cafés and civic buildings, including Morley Town Hall and the market hall. Regular bus services link the area to Leeds city centre and neighbouring suburbs. The street pattern contains short terraces and lanes that reflect 19th-century development; several former mill buildings lie close to the town centre and have been repurposed for housing and small businesses.

Housing in Morley East ranges from Victorian terraces to later semi‑detached estates, with local schools, a library and sports facilities serving residents. Small green pockets and footpaths step out from the eastern edge toward surrounding fields, and community groups use the town hall and market square for events. A visible detail on many streets is old mill chimneys rising above rooflines, a reminder of the town’s textile past and how industrial structures have been folded into everyday life.
