6 THERE S SOMETHING SPECIAL IN THE AIR, THE EARTH, THE HISTORY OF THE KIRKSTALL VALLEY. A DISTINCTIVE SPIRIT OF INDUSTRY AND PROGRESS THAT SAW KIRKSTALL FORGE EMERGE AND ENDURE AS THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY INDUSTRIALISED SITE IN THE UK. The earliest known activities on the Kirkstall site were those of 13th century Cistercian monks who produced leather goods, pottery, lead and other metal works at Kirkstall Abbey. Iron production took place at Kirkstall Forge from 1580 onwards, and the site s prominent position on the River Aire made it an important place in the early industrial revolution. Construction of the Leeds and Liverpool canal and later railway lines brought better transport links and a broad range of industries (including brewing, printing, textiles and iron forging) to Kirkstall. 6

7 THE FIRST WORLD WAR SAW FURTHER LARGE SCALE GROWTH AT KIRKSTALL FORGE, WITH AXLES FOR MILITARY VEHICLES PRODUCED HERE. BY 1930, MOST LORRIES AND BUSES MADE IN THE UK HAD AN AXLE MADE AT KIRKSTALL. AFTER SOME 800 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY THE KIRKSTALL SITE EVENTUALLY CLOSED IN With the sensitive restoration of the site's important industrial archaeology a key part of development plans, the historic Kirkstall Forge is ready to be fired with new purpose and ambition as a place of pride, vitality and new possibilities. 7

8 The Vision 8

9 THE KIRKSTALL FORGE DEVELOPMENT WILL BRING TO LIFE A CONNECTED COMMUNITY FOR BUSINESS, RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. A PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, THRIVE AND PROSPER, CLOSE TO THE CITY, IN THE OPEN AIR. The vision connects rich cultural heritage to modern commercial ambitions and joins up fresh ideas about sustainable new ways of living and working to acres of green space, to schools, to housing, to light-filled office spaces. With its own purpose built station, Kirkstall Forge joins up the vibrancy of city life with the tranquility of the outdoors and the connectedness of a living, working thriving community. Kirkstall Forge will not only be unique to Leeds but will establish a new benchmark for the rest of the UK. Not just a unique vision, a once in a lifetime opportunity. 9
