How to find and enter Leeds Industrial Museum
Situated on the outskirts of Leeds, the museum is approximately 2 miles from Leeds city centre, between the River Aire and the Leeds/Liverpool canal.
Access to the museum is via Canal Road, off Kirkstall Road where a car park leads to a mostly flat walkway to the museum entrance.
Please note that the alternative entrance to the museum from Cardigan Fields is closed. This is due to Flood Alleviation Scheme works closing the footbridge between Leeds Industrial Museum and Cardigan Fields.
The entrance door to the museum and shop is an automatic door and has a wide clearing space.
