Leeds Road, Rugby league venue in Huddersfield, England
Leeds Road was a rugby league stadium in Huddersfield with traditional stands and terraces for spectators. The site has since been redeveloped as a retail park, though a commemorative plaque marks where the center spot once stood.
The stadium opened in 1908 and served as a major rugby venue for the region over many decades. It ceased operations in 1994 after an extended period of sporting use.
England national team played one international match at Leeds Road, defeating the Netherlands 8-2 in November 1946 after World War II.
The former stadium site is now part of a shopping center with stores and cafes. The area is easy to reach on foot and features a memorial marker that people can see while visiting.
During the 1985-86 season, Bradford City temporarily used Leeds Road for six home games while their Valley Parade stadium underwent reconstruction after a fire.
