I know I bang on about Armley being full of amazingly creative people, but is it true?
Just cos I know a couple does that make it so?
The other day in conversation a person residing in Beeston told me that Armley was about as creative as a sh*t sandwich (sounds like something you could get funding for if you filmed the process).
They referred to the Armley they knew, which was a bit clichéd but basically went:
There is a dogging carpark near the Armley Mills Museum, it has a history of asbestos and cancer, a big roundabout, lots of chavs, dead people dumped near the dogging spot, a jail, E-Coli food poisoning.
None of the lovely things of Armley came to mind, well why would they?
So what is Armley all about? Who lives here? Where do you think it is going? All the Estate Agents boast about it being 'Up and Coming' is this true?

you can't argue with their facts...just tell 'em Beeston's full of terrorists and hooligans...allegedly.
Creative as a sh*t sandwich!! How big is the regeneration plans for Beeston?, and how will that impact on beeston as a place... not just the parts that are for regeneration. I have been looking to buy my first house. I have viewed houses in BOTH Armley and Beeston. Armley has a lot of history... not all good. Asbestos, cancer, and the dogging carpark. The carpark and dogging you can get anywhere... even in beeston. Asbestos and the history of its use in armley is what makes armley what it is. Its a place that is jam packed with history, and some of its buildings are testament to this. Beeston has had some bad things of late... terrorists for one.
Driving round Armley and Beeston it soon became evident which area i wanted to buy in... that being armley. Its history, buildings, the plans for regeneration which being on and around town street will impact the community more, and the fact that the regeneration plans for beeston will have little or no impact on beeston as a whole area made me buy in Armley.
