Horsforth is a suburb and civil parish within the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, in West Yorkshire, England, lying about five miles north west of Leeds city centre. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it has a population of 18,895 according to the 2011 Census
Horsforth was considered to have the largest population of any village in the United Kingdom during the latter part of the 19th century. It became part of the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in 1974, and became a civil parish with town council in 1999. The electoral ward of Horsforth also includes the southern part of Rawdon.
Horsforth was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Horseford, Horseforde, Hoseforde; but late-ninth-century coins with the legend ORSNA FORD and OHSNA FORD may have come from Horsforth. The name derives from Old English hors or, to judge from the coins, *horsa ('horse') in the genitive plural form horsa/horsna + ford 'ford', thus meaning 'horses' ford'. This refers to a river crossing on the River Aire that was subsequently used to transport 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.
Horsforth railway station is on the Harrogate Line between Harrogate and Leeds. The station is just outside the Horsforth parish boundary, on the Cookridge side of Moseley Beck. Newlay station, which was built by the Midland Railway, was renamed Newlay & Horsforth station in 1889. It was situated south of the River Aire and was accessible from Horsforth on Pollard Lane which connects Horsforth to Bramley.
Horsforth has a large percentage of sandstone buildings sourced from local quarries, more than any other part of Leeds. A draft design statement was produced in 2010, which summarises much of the architectural and historical character. Given its size, Horsforth has a relatively high number of bars and pubs of varying types from traditional pubs going back to the 17th century to more modern café bars and lounges. Horsforth Town Street has the highest concentration of these with 8 bars and pubs within a short distance of each other. Other popular night life areas include Station Road and New Road Side.

A Year at Horsforth Station, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK: 2011
This video features dozens of short snippets of film that I took throughout the whole of 2011, while waiting for or departing from trains at Horsforth station. Clips are presented in the date order in which they were filmed. It is not meant to be a glamourous video, but it is meant to present comings, goings, arrivals, and departures, not just in terms of the rail traffic, but also people and the changing seasons.
The majority of featured trains are Northern Trains units, including Class 142, Class 144, Class 150, Class 153, Class 155 and Class 158. There is also footage of the early morning 07:45 East Coast Trains Intercity service to London, which is a Class 43 Intercity 125, and a pair of Class 20 trains on rail head treatment (RHTT) duties.
I filmed it quite surreptitiously on a number of devices including a Canon Legria HFS200, a Flip Ultra HD, iPad, iPhone and various Fuji Finepix cameras. I find the film quite beautiful to look back upon in an understated way, and I hope that you enjoy it.
Recovery After The Flooding - Kirkstall, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England - 28th December, 2015
After several days of heavy rain on already saturated ground, the River Aire (like many rivers in Northern England) broke its banks in several places in Leeds (as well as elsewhere). The Leeds suburb of Kirkstall was badly flooded with dramatic footage of floodwaters flowing from Kirkstall down Kirkstall Road, and through Burley towards Leeds city centre. The Kirkstall Bridge pub, Kirkstall Forge shopping centre and the Airedale railway line were all flooded.
This film was taken around Kirkstall on Monday 28th December, after the flood water had subsided. It highlights the after effects of the flood and the ongoing recovery efforts by volunteers and professionals alike.
The film begins at Kirkstall Abbey where huge puddles of water from the River Aire as well as a ‘tide mark’ of sticks and other debris mark the extent of the floodwater in the grounds of the historic building. The grass is covered in muddy silt in places, and several dead fish lay in the mud. Adjacent the River Aire is running at capacity, not in flood at this stage but very full.
Following the path of the river is the weir, from here the high water mark can be seen in the trees and bushes as plastic bags and other debris are visible above the flowing water beneath. Beyond here the footage goes through woodland along the Goit (usually a small stream flowing from and eventually back into the River Aire).
Emerging from the woodland, the film goes to the Kirkstall Forge shopping complex, which is fully in recovery mode. There are still large puddles and mud, but the clean-up operation is underway. Outside of the Card Factory shop, much spoiled stock is piled high. Further along, volunteers are disposing of spoiled items and cleaning up at the flooded Kirkstall Bridge pub.
The view from Kirkstall Bridge is of a very full River Aire and beyond this, flooded fields. On either side of the river Aire is the clean up operation at the Kirkstall Bridge pub, and the pumping and recovery operation on the Airedale railway line by Network Rail employees and various contractors.
Crossing the bridge, the River flows towards Leeds, as pumps from the railway line transfer the Aire’s water back to where it belongs. Comedically suspended from a tree branch hanging over the river is a washed up yellow plastic sign, which reads ‘Caution Wet Floor’!
From here the film moves around to the still flooded pitch of the Leeds Rugby Academy.
The final shot of the film was taken further away, up Kirkstall Road towards Horsforth, where a sign for the new Kirkstall Forge housing development reads ‘A brand new neighbourhood in a stunning riverside location’. I end the film with three question marks, which stem from my puzzlement at the questionable wisdom of building houses and concreted surfaces next to a river, which is evidently prone to flooding.
According to the Environment Agency, the River Aire went on to reach 2.93 metres at Crown Point in Leeds city centre at 23:30 on 26/12/15. It's typical height is between 0.53 and 1.35 metres.

Leeds City Centre Floods, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK - 26th December, 2015
After several days of heavy rain on already saturated ground, the River Aire (like many rivers in Northern England) broke its banks in several places in Leeds city centre (as well as elsewhere). This film was taken from a walk beginning at 15:40 next to Leeds Railway Station on Princes Square and ending just shortly after 18:20 on East Street (A61).
The film features views of the River Aire at full flow and in flood: at Leeds Station Southern Entrance; from Victoria Bridge; from behind Asda House; on Meadow Lane; on Water Lane; at Bridge End; from Leeds Bridge; from Riverside Court; from Centenary Bridge; at Brewery Place; along Dock Street; from behind Oracle; from Crown Point Bridge; along East Street; through Turlow Court; and most dramatically at the junction of East Street (A61) and Marsh Lane.
At 11:50 there is a barge which has become wedged under a balcony / walkway, lifting the balcony / walkway above it. This is just under Centenary Bridge, opposite Oracle Bar.

Flood in Leeds, UK 26-12-2015

Redheugh Bridge North and South
Redheugh Bridge North and South
The biggest reason for failure on test is incorrect road positioning, whether it be dangerous, unnecessary or without sufficient checks and signals. When negotiating busy intersections the correct procedures are therefore stringently observed by the examiner, and because inexperienced drivers are often distracted, it helps to become familiar with these intersections to help you in being able to demonstrate your driving ability without being taken by surprise. Don’t allow yourself to slow unnecessarily to check whilst on fast roads, it could be inconvenient to others or even dangerous!
On the outbound part of test you may be taken onto the bridge towards Gateshead by firstly going underneath the bridge itself and past Jury’s Inn. It’s simply a case of keeping to the left all the way around until you reach the bridge. Because you have no dedicated lights when coming from this direction you need to pay strict attention to the traffic flowing onto it. Occasionally you may be taken towards the Teams area once over the bridge at Gateshead, and then behind the Metrocentre to Scotswood Bridge. A separate video will be available for this at some point.
