Pottery Field in Leeds, as its name suggests, is a place closely linked to the Leeds pottery industry, but there is more. This Leeds Local History video tells the story of Pottery Field, a place of heavy industry and innovation. It was also once the location of terraced housing and a community now gone.

Can please ask where you got such a high quality map of 1834? Best ive ever found was the tithe map or the nls website. I noticed it shows the location of hunslet hall more accurate than ive ever seen
Im not sure how true this is but i remember hearing the old railway cut (now disussed) was up for sale a while back. Would be interesting to see what viable business would take that
Great research & narration 👍
Big fan of your work.Burmantofts pottery would be another great video.❤
0:22 I remember steam locos crossing Jack Lane. Somebody with a flag would walk out of the factory into the road and stop traffic to let the engine out. I also have what I think are memories (it gets difficult to determine in one's '70s) of locos crossing Jack Lane in the '70s – around the time of bus strikes (I walked along the road from Leeds University to meet pals for a drink at the New Prospect (might have been renamed the Omnibus by then) in Belle Isle).
3:02 I think Adventure Me explored this a couple of years ago.
Brilliant! I love it!
superb vid
Thank you… excellent and interesting video. I learn so much!
Another fascinating video
Thank you
My grandad worked at Hunslet engine works and John Fowlers.
A really informative video, and a lovely walk down memory lane.
Thank u very much 😊
Just brilliant
My dad spent his formative years on Pottery Fields
Think he lived there mid 30s and through the 40s
Unfortunately he once showed me where he lived but I can't remember the street
He would have loved to have seen this
