About Wortley:
Wortley (pronounced Wurt-lee)
is a district of Leeds. It begins a one
kilometre (⅔ of a mile) to the west of the city
centre. In the 1086 Domesday Book it is
mentioned as Wirtlei, also Wirtleie and Wrleia.
Wortley is divided into three
areas. New Wortley is the area closest to Leeds
City Centre, Armley and Holbeck; Lower Wortley
is furthest from the city centre and close to
Farnley, and Upper Wortley is situated between
Armley and Lower Wortley.
Today, Wortley has a major
'cash and carry' warehouse, as well as many car
dealerships, including main dealers for brands
such as Honda, Porsche, Ford and Mazda located
in Lower Wortley. These are popular in this area
of the city due to the location of the Leeds
Outer Ring Road that passes through Lower
Wortley and connects with the M621 motorway.
As Wortley is largely a
residential area, with a fairly high population
density, it has two high schools and two primary
schools. Although it is close to the main
shopping centres of Leeds (and even closer to to
Armley), there are still many parades of smaller
local shops and a supermarket. There are about
12 pubs, and although there are no restaurants,
there are numerous take-away establishments.
