About Armley:

Armley is a district in the west of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It starts less than a mile from Leeds City Centre.

It is between the M621 motorway and Kirkstall Road, stretching from roughly the New Wortley roundabout (aka Armley Gyratory) to around the start of the Stanningley By-pass/Cockshott Lane where it merges into Bramley. Armley is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as Ermelai.

Armley Town Street includes a couple of high street names and charity shops as well as independent retailers typical of a suburban high street. There is especially good coverage of food retailers, plus excellent bus links into Leeds, Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield. Armley's Town Street has been praised for its large amount of free, off-road car parking, something unusual amongst inner-city and suburban high streets.

Other features of Armley include Armley (Gott's) Park, Armley Gaol, Gott's Park Golf Club and Armley Mills Leeds Industrial Museum, plus numerous former cinemas and churches. The most notable of the former churches is the old Methodist chapel which is now owned by Mike's Carpets, and is a familiar landmark to the people of West Leeds.

Armley is steeped in history. Armley Mills, now the Armley Mills Industrial Museum, was the World's largest Woollen Mill when it was built in 1788. In the 18th and 19th centuries Armley was, through its mills, a major contributor to the economy of the city of Leeds. Many of the buildings still standing in and around Armley were built in the 1800s, including many of the churches, schools, shops and houses. Ledgard Way is named after the late Armley entrepreneur Samuel Ledgard. Armley also has picturesque views over the rest of Leeds from certain vantage points.
