The Pink Line (19 & 19A) also comes through the area linking Ireland Wood with Tinshill, Kirkstall, Burley and Leeds city centre.
Locations used for outdoor filming of the series were in Skelmanthorpe, West Yorkshire and Elvington, North Yorkshire, while indoor filming was done at Yorkshire Television Studios, "Kirkstall Road, Leeds" themselves.
The areas decline began in the early 20th century when Leeds' industry moved away from the centre out towards Hunslet, Holbeck, Armley and Kirkstall.
