Pudsey is a market town in West Yorkshire located midway between Bradford and Leeds city centres. Originally an independent town, in 1974 it was incorporated into the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds. The town belongs to and lends its name to the parliamentary constituency of Pudsey and has also given its name to the mascot of BBC’s Children in Need, “Pudsey Bear”.
The town is well known for its recreational parks, the largest of which is Pudsey Park, featuring birdhouses, a tropical greenhouse and an aquarium. The park also plays host to the new West Leeds Country Park Visitor Centre.
There are three high schools situated in Pudsey, and Pudsey’s town centre has a range of amenities including a shopping centre with many high street chains, independent retailers, banks and estate agents.
The town now has a number of bus services that run through to Leeds city centre and Bradford, and has a small railway station known as New Pudsey.
