Burmantofts West Yorkshire Map

About Burmantofts

Burmantofts, a district of Leeds, carries the quiet hum of its suburban existence. It lies 2.1 km east of Leeds (from Leeds: bearing 80°T, OS grid SE 318 342). The houses, in their rows and clusters, seem to absorb the diffused northern light, their brickwork a familiar palette against the often-grey sky. A certain resilience marks the character of Burmantofts, a legacy perhaps of its industrial past, where the echoes of former brickworks might still be imagined in the very earth beneath one's feet, a deep, ochreous memory. Even the common spaces, the small parks and playing fields, possess a gentle, lived-in feel, worn smooth by generations of footsteps and the quiet unfolding of everyday lives. The air here, especially after a rain, can carry a damp, earthy scent, hinting at the underlying Yorkshire soil.
