Harehills is an inner-city area of east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is approximately 1mi north east of Leeds city centre. Harehills is situated between the A58 (towards Wetherby) and the A64 (towards York). Harehills had a population of 9,687 in 2011.OverviewIt is situated between Burmantofts and Gipton, and adjacent to Chapeltown. As the name suggests it is a hill area, basically a south-facing slope, with many streets of terraced houses on hills. In the middle is Banstead Park, a grassy slope with trees and play areas, giving a view over the city of Leeds. Banstead Park was home to rioting in 2001. Along with neighbouring Chapeltown, Harehills has suffered from rioting and sporadic unrest. However, there have been no notable incidents of unrest in Harehills since 2001.The cheaper housing has made it attractive to immigrants, with the result that it has a considerable cultural and ethnic mixture. There are two main shopping streets, Harehills Lane and Harehills Road which join at the junction of Roundhay Road (A58 road) leading to Oakwood. Also, heading 0.6mi up Harehills Lane towards the A64 York Road at the junction with Compton Road, is Harehills's other main shopping area.
