Pudsey

About

Pudsey is a residential and commercial district in west Leeds, with a mix of housing from Victorian terraces to modern estates. The town centre is focused around the pedestrianised shopping streets and the indoor market hall. The area is served by a railway station on the line to Bradford and Leeds. Pudsey Park provides green space with floral displays, a small animal enclosure, and a war memorial.

The local landscape is defined by its position on a hillside ridge, offering views across the Aire Valley. The area includes the distinct neighbourhood of Lowtown. Pudsey maintains a strong independent identity, historically rooted in the wool and milling industries. Its annual carnival and famous former residents, like the cricketer Sir Leonard Hutton, are notable local references.
