Arthursdale is an area within the village of Scholes in West Yorkshire, England. It is a small area immediately to the north of Rakehill Road in Scholes, near the former Scholes station on the closed Cross Gates–Wetherby line.[1][2] It was established around 1900 on glebe land bought by farmer, property developer and brick works manager Arthur Chippindale and included Whinmoor Farm.[3] A cricket club named after the settlement was formed in 1929.[4]
