The area is small and its borders difficult to define but runs along York
Road, east of Wykebeck Valley Road. From this junction north of York
Road is a large area of fields and woodland, Killingbeck Fields, which is Former Killingbeck Police Station
a Local Nature Reserve.[8] Immediately east of this is Killingbeck Retail
Park (including an Asda superstore)and Acorn business park. On the
south side of the York Road up to this point is housing which is in the
LS14 postcode, and also in the electoral ward. To the east of the retail
park is Oak Tree Lane, which leads to the newest housing development
on the site of the former Killingbeck Hospital. To the east of this is
Killingbeck Cemetery, which was established in 1895 for the Roman
Catholic community of Leeds. To the east of this is older housing
developments, on Lyme Chase, and The Oval estate, which occupy the
land up to Foundry Road. There is a row of shops on the north side Killingbeck Fire Station
leading up to this junction. On the south side is Seacroft Hospital.

Beyond Foundry Lane are Killingbeck Police Station and Killingbeck Fire Station, leading to the Parklands
housing estate which may be considered part of Seacroft.
