Alwoodley
[edit]Why is this not on the list? It has a separate list Listed buildings in Alwoodley. Chemical Engineer (talk) 10:07, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps you can help. I understand that "Alwoodley" is described as a civil parish and an electoral ward, but I am not sure whether they are the same, different, or overlapping. Are all the LBs in Alwoodley in the ward, or are some in the parish but outside the ward? To be inclusive, I combined the listed buildings in both in the same list. I do not know the reliability of the source I used, British Listed Buildings, but it has been the only source I have found to divide LBs into wards - Historic England divides only into parishes or unparished areas. Without some sort of division in large unparished areas such as Leeds, the lists would be impossibly long. Perhaps I could add [[Listed buildings in Alwoodley|Listed buildings in Leeds (Alwoodley Ward)]] to this list; or just add [[Listed buildings in Alwoodley]] as it is. Thoughts? --Peter I.

- Or split it into two lists, ward and parish? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:42, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- It was just odd. I live in Moortown in the Alwoodley ward and the local listed buildings are not accessible under Listed Buildings in Leeds, meaning that people (like me) cannot find them. I see no reason for having a separate list for Alwoodley. We should certainly go by Historic England (which is the authority which defines the list, not BSB which just uses their data.

- A lot of things are "odd" when you try to use the NHLE. If you search for Alwoodley in the "Place/Site/Street Name" field, you come up with 11 results - all in the parish. If you search in the "List Entry Text" field, you come up with only six. Listed buildings in Alwoodley contains 16 listed buildings, that is, all those in the parish, and those in the ward but outside the parish. There seems to be no way in the NHLE to find the specific Alwoodley LBs that are outside the parish, that is, those that are in the ward - the NHLE does not have a field for "electoral ward" (wish it did). I have made an addition to this list, which I hope goes towards satisfying the problem. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:51, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. Simply having Alwoodley under Listed Buildings in Leeds at least solves the problem that I had, though it is inelegant not to have Leeds (Alwoodley). Chemical Engineer (talk) 19:57, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
