Chapeltown is a suburb of north-east Leeds, in West Yorkshire, England, and is the centre of the city's British African-Caribbean community. It is approximately one mile north of Leeds city centre. In the 2001 census, Chapeltown was the only area of Leeds in which Whites were the minority.〔http://www.leeds.gov.uk/files/Internet2007/2011/6/e02002371.pdf〕 Along with neighbouring Harehills, Chapeltown has in the past suffered from rioting,〔(BBC - 1Xtra TX - Documentaries - Round my way ) 〕 with disturbances in 1975, 1981 and 1987. ==Location and boundaries==
Chapeltown does not have any official boundaries. It is not recognised by the Land Registry or the Post Office, but is widely recognised by residents of Leeds. According to the Ordnance Survey〔Checked online, but also in publications derived from OS, such as ''AZ Leeds and Bradford Street Atlas'' (1993) Geographers' A-Z Map Company Ltd, ISBN 978-0-85039-285-2〕 Chapeltown is a relatively small area around National Grid Coordinates SE430500, 437500, north of Harehills Lane (B6159) and east of the Harrogate Road. Chapeltown Road runs north through Potternewton to Harehills Lane - that is it leads to Chapeltown but is not on it.〔Likewise Potternewton Lane leads to Potternewton, Roundhay Road leads to Roundhay etc.〕 According to one source a wider definition is in ''"the LS7 postal region, and can be mapped through four points; where Scott Hall Road runs to north to where it intersects with Potternewton Lane, where Harehills Lane runs east and intersects with Avenue Hill, where Spencer Place runs south and intersects with Roundhay Road, to the very bottom and beginning of Chapeltown Road."''〔(Religious Mapping of Chapeltown 2007 ) R. D. Fotiou ''et al.''〕〔Official acceptance of this broader definition is indicated by the fact that the NHS Chapeltown Health Centre is at its south-east junction, the corner of Spencer Place and Leopold Street.〕 This is roughly the same as the boundary given in the Leeds Index of Deprivation, although the Scott Hall estate is excluded from Chapeltown.〔 This follows the LS7 postcode boundary on the East, with LS8 being Harehills. Roundhay Road could also be considered the boundary between them. However, it is widely accepted that Markham Avenue and Gathorne Terrace are the dividing line between Chapeltown and Harehills.〔Chapeltown Community Church is in the LS8 postal district, just East of Potternewton Park.〕 Harehills is adjacent, and the areas are commonly considered together. Neighbouring areas to Chapeltown in Leeds include Chapel Allerton to the North, Scott Hall to the West (considered part of Meanwood by the council), Harehills to the east, Sheepscar to the south, and Potternewton either to the north or included. Taking the larger area, the main thoroughfare of Chapeltown is Chapeltown Road which runs through the centre of the area north-south for approx. , linking Sheepscar Interchange (at the edge of Leeds city centre) and Harehills Lane/Chapel Allerton. ''Spencer Place'' in the east is another major through route, and once well known as a red light district although the area's popularity with prostitutes has reportedly recently declined.
