About

New Farnley and Lower Wortley sit in west Leeds, roughly four miles from the city centre. The area combines older stone and brick terraces, interwar and postwar housing, and small clusters of shops and services. Lower Wortley runs along Stanningley Road (A647), which provides direct bus links to Leeds and Bradford and carries daily traffic through the neighbourhood. Local facilities include a primary school, community centre and sports pitches that serve residents across both communities.

New Farnley retains a village pattern around a small green and a cricket club that still stages weekend fixtures. Narrow lanes and back streets reflect the former working-class settlement pattern; some former industrial sites have been converted for light industry or housing. Tree-lined corridors and allotments separate built-up streets, and frequent buses offer straightforward commutes into the city. Day-to-day life centres on local shops, pubs and community groups rather than destination tourism.
