Cookridge

Cookridge is a suburb of north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is a mixture of suburban, twentieth-century private housing and a very small amount of council housing bordering Tinshill. It is in the Adel and Wharfedale ward of City of Leeds metropolitan district, and the Leeds North West parliamentary constituency. Before 2004 there was a Cookridge ward; it was proposed that the present ward be called Cookridge and Wharfedale, but this was rejected and parts of the Cookridge ward were moved to other wards. The southern part of the former Cookridge ward is Tinshill, and there is some crossover with names of institutions.
