Hollinhurst is a neighbourhood within the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. Recorded in early Ordnance Survey mapping, the name has its roots in the Old English and Old Norse tradition of descriptive place-naming, with “hurst” typically referring to a wooded hill or copse, suggesting the area once had a more wooded character before the urban expansion of Leeds took hold.
