Hawksworth (Guiseley): what to know before moving day
Hawksworth Hall, probably built in the 16th century, is Grade II* listed, and Hawksworth Church of England Primary School, with around 100 pupils, is on Main Street. The village was the model for Windyridge in Willie Riley's 1912 novel, and readers came looking for it until the 1940s. Hawksworth was a civil parish until 1937, then part of Aireborough, and has been in Leeds since 1974.
OpenStreetMap shows only a handful of roads: Main Street, Goose Lane, Old Lane, Mill Lane, Hillings Lane and Odda Lane, with Jum Bridge over Jum Beck. Hawksworth Reservoir, Hawksworth Quarry off Odda Lane, the old Hawksworth Mill and Over Mill, and the Curlew Cafe are the landmarks. With so few named roads, a farm or cottage address needs directions to the right gate.
