About Burley:
Burley is a suburb of Leeds,
West Yorkshire, England, characterised by the
red brick terraced housing, much of which was
built in the period 1899 - 1903, and green
spaces. Sometimes called 'The Cardigan
Triangle', it stretches north from the main
Kirkstall Road, towards Hyde Park and Headingley.
It is served by Burley Park railway station and
regular bus routes along Kirkstall Road,
Cardigan Road and Burley Road.
The area has a smaller
student population than do the surrounding areas
of Headingley and Hyde Park. It has few pubs or
bars, perhaps due in part to the methodism of
the one-time landowner in this area. However,
there is a large cinema and restaurant complex
at Cardigan Fields Leisure Park. Yorkshire
Television and Radio Aire broadcast studios and
the Home Office's Immigration offices are all
located on Kirkstall Road in Burley.
A feature of the area, which
gives the area a large part of its identity and
character is Burley Model Allotments, which is
right in the heart of Burley. The site,
numbering over 100 plots in all and bisected by
a road, was once a quarry. The allotment gardens
have existed since 1911.
