THE HISTORY OF ALWOODLEY
The name Alwoodley is said to be of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning; 'Aathelwald's forest clearing' (Aathelwald being a male name in Anglo-Saxon times). This indicates that there was a large forest in the Alwoodley area that was cleared for a settlement and agriculture.
Alwoodley maintained its agricultural background during the industrial revolution, acting as a retreat for those who needed some fresh country air in comparison to the smoke and smog of Leeds and the pollution in the River Aire.
