  • 3 Glebe Terrace, Far Headingley, Leeds, LS16 5NA Guide Price £400,000

Built in 1876, the terrace is positioned at a right angle to Hollin Lane, with a warm, westerly, aspect to the rear.

The GAS CENTRAL HEATING boiler has recently been replaced. The electrical wiring was renewed in the 1980’s, with modern MCB’s in the outhouse behind the kitchen. The slate roof appears to be in good order with modern Velux skylights to the rear and a recently replaced dormer to the front - an exact replica of the original. The house retains MANY PERIOD FEATURES including some lovely fireplaces and panelled doors, and briefly comprises an entrance vestibule and hallway, a sitting room with bay, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen (planning permission in 2010 was granted for a 3m extension), four bedrooms, a generous bathroom and a separate wc.

  • History-Of-Headingley-RT2.Pdf
    Headingley Development Trust Promoting Headingley A Headline History of Headingley Headingley Village The beginnings of Headingley village are lost in the mists of time. But its situation in a prime location suggests that it might be very ancient. The village is located on the higher, drier ridge between what would have been the less hospitable valleys of the River Aire to the west and Meanwood Beck to the east. And it is in a saddle on the ridge, providing ready access between the valleys. [An off-set cross-roads is still central to Headingley.] The Anglo-Saxon Era During the sixth century, the Angles arrived, settling in the north, giving England its name – and also naming the village. Among their number were Headda and his family, who founded, or perhaps occupied, the settlement on the hill, which became known as ‘Headda’s people’s place’ – or ‘Head-ing-ley’. Under Headda’s descendants, the village evidently flourished. [One field remains, on Headingley Hill, now used for grazing.] The Viking Era The Vikings colonised the north in the ninth century, and Jorvik Scir (York Shire) became one of the fourteen shires of the Danelaw. The Shire was divided into Ridings (thirdings), each in turn comprising wapentakes (where votes were taken by a show of weapons). The West Riding included Skyrack Wapentake, extending from the Wharfe to the Aire, and named after the Scir Ac (or Shire Oak) meeting place on the edge of Headingley village green. So, a millennium ago, Headingley was the number one settlement in Skyrack Wapentake. [The oak stood for another thousand years, finally collapsing in 1941.] The Norman Era The north did not take kindly to William of Normandy’s conquest in 1066, and rebellion broke out.

  • Leeds' Newcomers in 2019
    Leeds’ newcomers in 2019 A short statistics overview for people who plan or deliver services, and are planning for migrants who are the newest arrivals to Leeds. Photo credits: Steve Morgan [photographer] and Yorkshire Futures [source]. 1. Introduction Who is this briefing paper for? This document is aimed at people who plan or deliver local services in Leeds. You might find you are often the first people who meet and respond to newcomers in the local area. You will know that people who have just arrived in an area often need more information and support than those who have had time to adjust and learn about life in the UK. These newcomers might benefit from information about key services for example, in their first language. This briefing paper provides an overview of the numbers and geographical patterns of new migrants who recently have come to live in Leeds and were issued with a national insurance number [NINO] in 2019. We hope you will find the information presented here useful for planning services and engagement with new communities, making funding applications, or for background research for you or your colleagues to better understand migration in your area. Where has the data come from? This briefing paper was produced by Migration Yorkshire in September 2020. This document uses information from the Department for Work and Pensions [DWP] about non-British nationals who successfully applied for a NINO in 2019. We have used this as a proxy for newcomers, because new arrivals usually need to apply for a NINO in order to work or claim benefits.
