Namely Nether Yeadon, whose focus was always to the southern end of the area focussed around Warm Lane and Gill Lane, and Henshaw, which was focussed on the north side of Gill Lane. New Road effectively splits these areas in character terms now and as such the conservation area can be divided into sub-areas known as character areas.
