About

Rothwell ward is situated in the southern part of the Leeds metropolitan district, centered on the historic market town of Rothwell itself. The area encompasses residential suburbs, pockets of green space like Royds Park, and local commercial centres along streets such as Commercial Street. It is primarily a residential community with established housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments, serving as a home for a settled population.

The landscape includes the wooded Rothwell Haigh, a former country estate with walking paths. The area's industrial heritage is rooted in coal mining, with the Rothwell Colliery site now largely redeveloped. A notable local feature is the Rothwell Bone Crypt, located beneath Holy Trinity Church, which contains a unique assemblage of medieval skeletal remains. The ward maintains a distinct identity separate from the immediate urban core of Leeds.
