Garforth : the town at the eastern edge of the metropolitan City of Leeds. The areas population was 19,811 at the 2011 Census and Garforth was in the parliamentary constituency of Elmet until the 2010 general election, when it was incorporated into the new constituency of Elmet and Rothwell. Garforth's population itself decreased to 14,957 in 2011. Garforth itself owes its size to expansion in the 17th and 18th centuries, during which the local land owning Gascoigne family ran several coalmines in the area. The surrounding settlements of Micklefield - Kippax - Swillington - Methley and Allerton Bywater are all villages that prospered and grew as a result of the coal industry. Nowadays manufacturing and motor vehicle repair account for more than a third of the workforce in the area. More recent expansion can also be traced to a combination of overall economic success in Leeds and the fact that Garforth is well served by transport links. The A1 and M1 are minutes away and both have recently been linked by an extension of the M1 which passes to the West and North of the town, with two nearby access points at Junctions 46 and 47. The M1 extension has led to rapid development of commercial, light industrial and residential sites clustered around Junctions 46 and 47. There are two railway stations, Garforth plus East Garforth, both on the mainline route between Leeds, York and North Eastern England to Scotland and between Leeds, Selby, Hull and the Yorkshire coastal resorts. Effectively, people can commute to, or visit, a wide variety of destinations quite easily and still live in a self-contained township surrounded by open countryside, woodlands and rural villages.
