Where to stay in Cross Green
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The A63 splits the choice. North of that road Cross Green is a residential estate with playing fields and housing, while everything south of it is industrial, which leaves almost nothing let to travellers on either half. Osmondthorpe adjoins it. Central Leeds is the practical answer, about a mile back along the A63, with Richmond Hill and Hunslet closer still if a bed turns up on that side.

About Cross Green
What are the main landmarks in Cross Green?
No listed monuments appear here. Cross Green trades in working ground instead: the industrial estate that fills the land south of the A63, the playing fields and housing on the hill above it, and the road itself carrying traffic between Leeds city centre and the areas beyond. Osmondthorpe, Richmond Hill and Hunslet ring it.
The LS9 postcode covers the lot.
What is the history of Cross Green?
Industry shaped Cross Green. The area reads as a working district rather than an old village core, with a large industrial estate holding the land south of the A63 and a residential estate of housing and playing fields on the hill to the north. That split is the whole story of the place, and the A63 is what drew it, cutting the hill in two about a mile from Leeds city centre.
The LS9 postcode carries it between Osmondthorpe, Richmond Hill and Hunslet.
