Chapel
Allerton is that rarity, a village that has been smothered by the
city but has not only survived but prospered.
To bring you the delights of Leeds' living village we have talked
to the people who live and work in the area. |

The
main artery through Leeds 7 is Harrogate Road and, as you will see,
much of the village's history is bound up with the existence of the
old Leeds to Harrogate turnpike road.
The
modern commuter between the two points might well stick to the A61
on his or her journey and miss Chapel Allerton completely.
We
asked the Chairperson of the Chapel Allerton Residents Association
(CARA), Margaret Jackson, to give her personal
guide to the area.
If
looking round the area works up a thirst you might want to turn
to stories on some of the local
pubs.
Barrie Pepper says: "Just as Chapel Allerton has retained its
village atmosphere it has also retained many of its old pubs. And
they still have a place in the heart of the community."
The
local school is right
there in the middle of the community and the headteacher explains
why that position is vital.
If
you fancy actually living in the area why not take a tour of the
housing market with
a local estate agent?
Chapel Allerton also contains a large allotment gardens just looking
for new members to go gardening.
This
is ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leeds's guide to Chapel Allerton but we want to hear from
you.
