About Swinnow
Where to stay in Swinnow
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Swinnow is not a base. The district holds no hotel stock of its own, so the practical choice is a room in central Leeds with a short run out to the Church of St Paul and the Church of St Thomas. A house stands near the entrance gates to Case and Company, which is the nearest thing the district offers a visitor on foot.
Everything else means a journey back into Leeds.
About Swinnow
What are the main landmarks in Swinnow?
Two churches account for most of what the record holds here: the Church of St Paul and the Church of St Thomas. A third entry is odder. A house standing near the entrance gates to Case and Company carries an entry of its own, which says something about how thin the built heritage of Swinnow runs against the rest of Leeds.
What is the history of Swinnow?
Swinnow's recorded past is short, and what survives of it stands in stone rather than in text: two churches, and a house at the gates of Case and Company. Houses take up the rest of it. The district sits inside Leeds as a residential quarter, and the Church of St Paul and the Church of St Thomas give it what landmarks it has.
Where is Swinnow?
Swinnow lies inside the built-up area of Leeds, in West Yorkshire, a residential district with no river or ridge to name it by.
