Seacroft

Seacroft is an outer-city suburb/township consisting mainly of <a href="/facts/Council_estate/CzU0UQLP">council estate</a> housing covering an extensive area of east <a href="/facts/Leeds/YVPtUCt1">Leeds</a>, <a href="/facts/West_Yorkshire/MkAnqswS">West Yorkshire</a>, England. It lies in the LS14 <a href="/facts/LS_postcode_area/3Nw0HXIm">Leeds postcode area</a>, around 4 miles (6.4 km) east of <a href="/facts/Leeds_city_centre/Mk98A9BU">Leeds city centre</a>.
It sits in the <a href="/facts/Killingbeck_and_Seacroft_(ward)/Ym77UDfk">Killingbeck & Seacroft</a> ward of <a href="/facts/Leeds_City_Council/5Xf8rRsE">Leeds City Council</a> and <a href="/facts/Leeds_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)/5jeQvEx0">Leeds East</a> <a href="/facts/United_Kingdom_Parliament_constituencies/oqbcDHyC">parliamentary constituency</a>.
The population of the corresponding Leeds City Ward was nearly 18,000 in 2001 and fell to 14,426 in 2011. The name is often used as a catch-all for Seacroft and the neighbouring areas of <a href="/facts/Whinmoor/oYf0MCxu">Whinmoor</a> and <a href="/facts/Swarcliffe/V6B42PHr">Swarcliffe</a>, other large east Leeds council estates which merge into each other.
Seacroft includes one of the largest council estates in the country and Yorkshire's second-largest council estate, after <a href="/facts/Bransholme/n5hmJBA4">Bransholme</a> in <a href="/facts/Kingston_upon_Hull/8yMvTEcM">Kingston upon Hull</a>. The latter, however, was part of <a href="/facts/Humberside/u757I6g5">Humberside</a> county from 1974 to 1996. Because of its size, Seacroft has often been referred to as a town. The original vision, envisaged by the council, was that it would be a 'Town within the City Limits', and the Seacroft Civic Centre was often referred to as the 'Seacroft Town Centre'.
