Welcome to Barnbow Carr

Barnbow Carr is a small village located in the eastern part of Leeds, West Yorkshire. The village is known for its rich history, which dates back to the 17th century. During the industrial revolution, Barnbow Carr was a hub for textile manufacturing, and many of the buildings in the village were used as mills and factories. Today, the village is a quiet residential area, with a mix of old and new houses.

One of the most significant events in the history of Barnbow Carr was the explosion at the Barnbow munitions factory during World War I. On December 5, 1916, a massive explosion occurred at the factory, killing 35 workers and injuring many more. The explosion was caused by a fire in one of the shell-filling rooms, which ignited a large quantity of explosives. The explosion was heard as far away as Harrogate and York and caused significant damage to the surrounding area.

Despite the tragedy of the explosion, Barnbow Carr continued to thrive as a manufacturing center throughout the 20th century. Today, the village is a peaceful and picturesque place to live, with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a community center, and several local shops and businesses. It is also well-connected to the rest of Leeds, with easy access to the city center and surrounding areas via public transport.
