Moor Allerton is an area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The area is situated in North Leeds, near to King Lane and the Leeds Outer Ring Road. The area is mainly made up of 1950s/60s housing as well as a proportion of modern housing and has a good reputation. This combined with relatively low house prices has made the area popular with first time buyers. In the 1990s much of the area's Shopping Centre was rebuilt. It now has a large Sainsbury's, a Homebase, several other retailers, a library and a public house called The Penny Fun. The centre has previously had a Jones of Oakwood (electronic retailers) and a Burger King. The earlier part of the centre was opened by Mr Arthur Craven (director of library services) on 5 March 1982. By 1985 the library had become the busiest branch library in Leeds.
