Overview of Horsforth

The town of Horsforth is located North West of Gatwick airport a distance of 240 miles that would take around 4 hours by taxi via the M25 and M1. It is situated within the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, in West Yorkshire. And is located just north of Leeds City Centre.

Its no suprise that the name Horsforth derives from horse and ford. This refers to a river crossing on the River Aire, probably used for the transport of woollen goods to and from Pudsey, Shipley and Bradford. The original ford was situated off Calverley Lane, but was replaced by a stone footbridge at the turn of the 19th century. Until the mid 19th century, Horsforth was an agricultural community which expanded rapidly with the growth of the nearby industrial centre of Leeds. In the late 19th century it achieved note as the village with the largest population in England. Railways, turnpike roads, tramways and the nearby canal made it a focus for almost all forms of public and commercial transport and sealed its fate as a dormitory suburb of Leeds. During World War II the 241,000 required to build the corvette HMS Aubretia was raised entirely by the people of Horsforth. In 2000 the then US President Bill Clinton acknowledged Horsforth's contribution to the war effort in a letter sent to local MP Paul Truswell. The letter now resides in the museum.

The town has much to do for the visitor or tourist, such as Horsforth Village Museum as mentioned above, Kirkstall Abbey-is a ruined Cistercian monastery sat on the Banks of the River Aire and Horsforth Hall Park offers a lovely location to take a stroll, there are also plenty of restaurants, pubs, cafes, antique art and book stores in the town.
