Armley is a district in the west of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It starts less than 1 mile (1.6 km) from Leeds city centre. Like much of Leeds, Armley grew in the Industrial Revolution and had several mills, one of which now houses the Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills. Armley was historically – and predominantly still is – a largely working-class area of the city; it retains many smaller industrial businesses, and has many rows of back-to-back terraced houses.
