Cross Green, Leeds

Cross Green is a mainly industrial area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

It is around 1 mile (1.6 km) on a hill to the south east of Leeds city centre, with the A63 road (Pontefract Lane) running through the middle and dividing it into a residential estate with playing fields and housing to the north, and a large industrial estate to the south.

An area north of Pontefract Lane formerly housed the main Leeds wholesale markets, one for meat, one for fish, fruit and vegetables.

[2] This is called the Leeds Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility (RERF), and is operated by Veolia.

[3][4] This consists of 450 homes, largely traditional terraced and back-to-back houses on Cross Green Lane and streets north of it.
