Welcome to Stourton

Stourton is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles south-east of Leeds city centre and is part of the City of Leeds metropolitan borough. The village is known for its industrial heritage, with a history of coal mining and textile manufacturing. Today, Stourton is home to a number of businesses, including a large industrial estate and a retail park.

One of the most notable landmarks in Stourton is the Stourton Tower, a Grade II listed building that was once part of the Stourton Colliery. The tower was built in the early 20th century and served as a ventilation shaft for the mine. Today, it is a popular landmark and is often used as a symbol of the village's industrial heritage. Another notable feature of Stourton is the Leeds Industrial Museum, which is located on the site of the former Armley Mills. The museum showcases the history of industry in Leeds and features exhibits on textiles, printing, and engineering.

Stourton is also home to a number of green spaces, including the Middleton Railway, which is the world's oldest continuously working railway. The railway was originally built to transport coal from the mines in Middleton to the city of Leeds. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction and offers visitors the chance to ride on historic steam trains. Overall, Stourton is a village with a rich history and a strong sense of community. Its industrial heritage is still evident today, but the village has also embraced modern developments and is a thriving hub of business and culture.
