Historic West Park
West Park was first developed in the Edwardian era on fields to the west of Otley Road, where the old turnpike to Otley originally turned west along Spen Road. It has expanded since further west, and to the east and south. For details of its development, see the Timeline. For a brief general description of the area, go to West Park.
