Armley Walk (Part 2): From the Lost Wortley Police Station to St Bartholomew's Church

Welcome back to Part 2 of my deep-dive walking tour into the forgotten corners of Armley and Wortley in Leeds! If you enjoyed the search for Wortley Road and the lost railway station in Part 1, join me as I continue my exercise and urban exploration journey. This episode is a fascinating mix of the old and the new, passing remnants of historic factories and older buildings that sit right alongside modern housing estates, showing the changing face of this great Leeds district. The Former Wortley Police Station The main goal of this walk was to find the distinctive former Wortley Police Station building—and we found it! This striking red-brick building stands as a testament to the area's past. A Brief History: The building you see was constructed around 1899 to replace an older station on the same site, marking it as a key piece of local civic history. It's known for its notable architecture, including a turret and a clock installed by Wm Potts & Sons of Leeds in 1898. For decades, it served as a local hub, even becoming the headquarters for 'D' Division in 1935, until its closure in 1978. My walk through the classic red-brick terrace housing finally concludes at the beautiful St Bartholomew's Church, a perfect historical landmark to finish this exploration.
