Wetherby is a market town and civil parish within the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, in West Yorkshire, England. Wetherby stands on the River Wharfe, and has been for centuries a crossing place and staging post on the A1 Great North Road, being midway between London and Edinburgh.
Historically a part of the Claro Wapentake (as part of the parish of Spofforth) within the West Riding of Yorkshire, Wetherby is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wedrebi, thought to derive from wether- or ram-farm or else meaning settlement on the bend of a river.
Wetherby Bridge, which spans the River Wharfe, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II listed structure. The course of the Old Great North Road passes through the town and, as result of its situation on the road, a large number of coaching inns were established in Wetherby which are still used by travellers today.
Micklethwaite was a village in its own right but its identity as a separate place has disappeared since the Micklethwaite Farm's buildings were demolished in the 2000s and replaced by 150 dwellings known as 'Micklethwaite'. Ainsty is in the north of Wetherby, off the B1224 Deighton Road. Hallfield in the southeast is a large council estate and has some houses built by the prison service and some sheltered housing. Linton Park View an affluent area of private houses, mostly built in the 1970s between Spofforth Hill and Linton Lane in the northwest of Wetherby. Spofforth Hill named after the road that passes through is an affluent area off the A661.
The upgrade of the section between Bramham and Wetherby started in July 2007 and was scheduled to be completed in 2009. The upgrading of the A1 included the construction of Wetherby Services at the Wetherby North Junction. The upgrading of the A1(M) in Wetherby was the final development after 50 years of gradual improvement to motorway standard. A new road links all routes in and out of the town with the A1(M). Wetherby bus station in the Market Place was redeveloped in 1995.
Local passenger services between Leeds, Wetherby, and Harrogate, and between Wetherby and Church Fenton on the Cross Gates–Wetherby line and the Harrogate–Church Fenton line were withdrawn on 6 January 1964, involving closure of Wetherby railway station, one of the very first stations to be closed as part of the Beeching Axe. The closest mainline station is Leeds railway station.

An arduous trek or a Sunday stroll?

GRAYLING - RIVER WHARFE - WETHERBY
Filmed at Wetherby & District Angling Club waters, the top side footage is not the precise location but it is on the members section. Wetherby has a superb stock of grayling with some running to 2lb, They make life look so effortless in the area they reside in, this particular area is fairly shallow and a nightmare to even keep the camera still. Grayling love to hug the bottom picking off various food items flowing past and returning back to the same area, for the first time in winter there has been young juveniles in the shoal, Guessing its more down to the mild winter. Grayling also love to pick up small pebbles and strip them clean before deposting them back on the river bed, it is quite amazing how close to an angler grayling will be, literally feet away, making them an ideal species to fish for. For more details on the fishery visit the wetherby angling club facebook page.

Newsagents and Convenience Store in Wetherby West Yorkshire For Sale
Wetherby, West Yorkshire, England
Advert Ref: 2920
Business Description
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular newsagents and convenience store, which was established in the 1960s and which has been in our client's hands since 2005. The store is only now being placed on the market due to our client's other business interests. The store offers a range of groceries and convenience items, newspapers, sweets and tobacco and generates a turnover in the region of £338,000 per annum with a gross profit of 28%. A new owner could easily increase turnover by perhaps, extending the opening hours into the evenings and by offering newspaper rounds and home deliveries to the local area. We are advised that a National Lottery terminal was installed during August 2012, which will make a substantial difference to the turnover. The premises boast self-contained three bedroom living accommodation above, which is currently let out, generating £7.500 per annum. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a well-established newsagents and convenience store, in such a desirable location and with scope for future growth. Early viewing, arranged through Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
