Holbeck
Inner city area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the area of Leeds. For the village in Nottinghamshire, see Holbeck, Nottinghamshire. For other uses, see Holbeck (disambiguation).
Holbeck is an inner city area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It begins on the southern edge of Leeds city centre and mainly lies in the LS11 postcode district. The M1 and M621 motorways used to end/begin in Holbeck. Now the M621 is the only motorway that passes through the area since the end of the M1 moved to Hook Moor near Aberford. Since large parts of Holbeck have been vacated in preparation for the regeneration of the area, the district has in large parts suffered from a population exodus. Holbeck had a population of 5,505 in 2011.[1][2] The district currently falls within the Beeston and Holbeck ward of Leeds City Council.
