Arthursdale is an area within the village of Scholes in West Yorkshire, England. It is a small area immediately to the north of Rakehill Road in Scholes, near the former Scholes station on the closed Cross Gates–Wetherby line.[1] [2] It was established around 1900 on glebe land bought by farmer, property developer and brick works manager Arthur Chippindale and included Whinmoor Farm.[3] A cricket club named after the settlement was formed in 1929.[4]
The glebe land on which the housing in the area is built was originally part of the wastes & common land of Whinmoor and was awarded to the Rector of Barwick in Elmet under the 1804 Barwick in Elmet Enclosure Award.[5]
