Austhorpe
It is 5 miles (8 km) to the east of city centre and close to the A6120 dual carriageway (Leeds Outer Ring Road) and the M1 motorway.Austhorpe Parish Council declared nil balance accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2017.[5]: 21 After the Township dissolved, Austhorpe stopped developing as quickly as it was doing, possibly due to the once abundant coal fields close to the surface which had been a major source of commerce for the area since Roman times becoming empty with deep shaft mining proving to be unsuccessful compared to the close by coal source at Garforth.Pioneering Civil Engineer John Smeaton, designer of the longest standing Eddystone Lighthouse, was born in Austhorpe.[6] Leeds band the Kaiser Chiefs make a positive reference to him in their hit song "I Predict a Riot".
