About

Wortley sits to the west of Leeds city centre and is a mainly residential area that includes New Wortley. Housing ranges from 19th‑century terraces to post‑war council estates, with a parade of local shops and services along Wortley Road. Small greens and play areas are interspersed with streets, and a recreation ground near the heart of the neighbourhood provides space for informal sport and weekend football matches.

Community activity is visible in local groups, churches and a community centre that host markets, meetings and youth projects. Regular bus services run into the city centre and link to nearby districts, making commuting straightforward. The area developed in the 19th century to house workers for Leeds industries, a pattern still seen in the layout of streets and rows of redbrick terraces. Everyday life in Wortley is centered on local schools, shops and the recreation ground that sits close to the main shopping parade, giving the neighbourhood a recognisable civic core.
