Sheepscar Interchange is a complex urban road junction where the A61 and A58 meet in the Leylands area of Leeds, created in the 1980s as part of Leeds' ambition to be a 'motorway city' - a policy that not only led to much demolition (including the grade II listed St Clements Church with its 140 foot spire close to this location), but hampered later efforts to improve public transport.
