What3Words
What3Words is a location app which provides exact location points based on 3 metre squares. Every 3 metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words which can be shared with friends and family, emergency services and more to pinpoint locations easily.
We have provided What3Words locations for key areas of our attractions to help you navigate your visit.
Carers
Entry to Leeds Industrial Museum is free of charge for carers.
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 will be closed until Spring 2023 (this date may be subject to change). 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.
