Kirkstall is rich in historic sites and monuments.
St. Stephen's churchyard has fine 19th century grave markers.
Other landmarks include an elegant early 19th century stone monument on the A65 road near the Kirkstall Forge site.
A plaque on the monument indicates that Kirkstall is 200 miles from London and 200 miles from Edinburgh.

The re-located 19th century drinking fountain near the demolished police station at the junction of Abbey Road and Bradford Road proclaims 'Drink and be Grateful'.
The fountain's little garden had been neglected for many a year until local community gardening group Kirkstall-in-Bloom made it their initial project in 2012.
