Wellington Street - Leeds Edition - Leeds, UK - Monopoly in the Real World on Waymarking.com

The road leads to the current Leeds city railway station but at one time had two other stations actually on the street itself.

In 1840, the North Midland Railway (a constituent of the Midland Railway) constructed its line from Derby via Rotherham to a terminus at Hunslet Lane to the south. It was extended to a more centrally located terminus at Wellington Street in 1846, known as Wellington Station.

Another railway station, Leeds Central (on Wellington Street), was opened in 1854 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway and the London and North Western Railway, or LNWR. The railway station became owned jointly by the LNWR and the North Eastern Railway, but other companies had powers to run trains there, including the Great Northern Railway and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

Both the railway stations on the street have been demolished and these days the street is lined with offices with one large hotel.
