Scholes, Leeds

Scholes-in-Elmet is a village in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Its name is a plural of Old Norse skáli meaning "temporary shed". It is sometimes known as Scholes-in-Elmet to distinguish it from the villages of the same name in the Holme Valley and Cleckheaton, also by analogy with the neighbouring village of Barwick-in-Elmet and Sherburn in Elmet. The village is part of the civil parish of Barwick in Elmet and Scholes, sits in the Harewood ward of Leeds City Council and Wetherby and Easingwold parliamentary constituency. In 2011, the population of Scholes was 2,266.

Scholes railway station

Scholes railway station was a station in Scholes, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, on the Cross Gates–Wetherby line. It opened on 1 May 1876 and closed on 6 January 1964. The former station building is now a restaurant, which from 1984 to 1999 used a Mk 1 railway carriage as extra rooms. The latter is now restored and in use on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. When opened, the station had a single platform and a brick station building on the up side of the line. The building was of a typical North Eastern Railway design and similar to those at Bardsey, Thorner, and Collingham Bridge as well as at Garforth station. A long siding was located opposite to the platform, but there was no passing loop. The small goods yard with two sidings was located north of the station. One siding with a loop served the coal drops, the other a cattle dock. There was no goods shed or crane, only a parcels shed on the platform. The local brickworks, established in 1877 by Isaac Chippindale sr. close to the station, were a main freight customer, but were not permitted their own sidings and had to transport their products to the station by road. Upon doubling of the line in 1901, a second platform with a wooden waiting room was built, and a third goods siding added. In the 1950s the road bridge across the tracks south of the station was reconstructed. While the station closed to passengers on 6 January 1964, it remained open for goods until 27 April 1964. The stationmaster ran a coal sale as a private concern under licence from the railways. Following closure, the business continued from the former goods yard, and moved later to Garforth. It closed upon retirement of the last stationmaster in 1993. The station building was leased to an electrical contractor in the late 1960s and converted into a restaurant in 1979.

Arthursdale

Arthursdale is an area within the village of Scholes in West Yorkshire, England. It is a small area immediately to the north of Rakehill Road in Scholes, near the former Scholes station on the closed Cross Gates–Wetherby line.

A cricket club named after the settlement was formed in 1929. The glebe land on which the housing in the area is built was originally part of the wastes & common land of Whinmoor and was awarded to the Rector of Barwick in Elmet under the 1804 Barwick in Elmet Enclosure Award.
