WOODHOUSE








Woodhouse is a deprived area of Leeds and as a result has a bad reputation. From a creative point of view though, I find it stimulating.

The large student population gives the place a laid-back, optimistic feel. Day and night, a range of music can be heard echoing from various bedroom windows. It’s full of life.

Visually it is also very interesting. The rows of red brick terraces are full of character and are reminiscent of a bygone era.

In contrast to this, the fly-tipping and the graffiti which springs up over night keeps things fresh and can be a great source of inspiration.
