You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:39, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Colton''' is a district of east [[Leeds]], [[West Yorkshire]], England, situated between [[Cross Gates]] to the north, [[Halton, Leeds|Halton]] and [[Halton Moor]] to the west, [[Whitkirk]] to the north-west and [[Austhorpe]] to the north-east. [[Temple Newsam]] lies directly south of the estate.

The area falls within the [[Temple Newsam (ward)|Temple Newsam]] [[electoral ward|ward]] of [[Leeds City Council]] and [[Leeds East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds East]] [[UK Parliament constituencies|parliamentary constituency]].

The small ''Whitkirk Lane End'' estate (which is situated between Colton Road and Colton Roundabout) is often considered more part of the Colton district than Whitkirk, because of its separation from Whitkirk via Selby Road, and its proximity to Colton Road.

==Etymology==
The name of Colton is first attested the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 as ''Coletun''. The name comes from [[Old English]]. The first element is the [[personal name]] ''Cola'' (which originated as a nickname deriving from Old English ''col'' 'coal', referring to black hair or dark complexion), and the second is the word ''tūn'' ('estate, farm'). Thus the name once meant 'Cola's estate'.<ref>Harry Parkin, ''Your City's Place-Names: Leeds'', English Place-Name Society City-Names Series, 3 (Nottingham: English Place-Name Society, 2017), p. 37.</ref>

==Geography==
[[File:Colton 2.jpg|thumb|left|Newer houses in Colton]]
The village consists mainly of [[cul-de-sac]]s, with inter-linking ginnels, back alleys and housing ranges from detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, and flats. The area is 4 miles to the east of [[Leeds city centre]], and is close to the [[A63 road|A63]] [[dual carriageway]] and [[M1 motorway]]. Colton is also the area of Leeds where the [[Leeds Outer Ring Road]] terminates. The area is served by buses, with the number 19A going to and from the city centre every 40 minutes and the 19 served hourly on an evening. 

At the centre of the estate, there is a cricket club, with a bar, a cricket pitch, two tennis courts, crown green bowling club and a football pitch. Much of the open space in Colton has been built upon, making it a much more urban area. Colton [[Methodist Church of Great Britain|Methodist Church]] is situated in the "old" part of the village.<ref>Leeds North and East Methodist Circuit, [https://www.leedsnandemethodist.org.uk/churches/church-5.html Colton Methodist Church], accessed 29 January 2021</ref>

==Old Colton Road==
Colton Road is a derelict road running through the west of the area into Whitkirk. It joins onto Selby Road, although it has been closed from the edge of Colton and Whitkirk to Meynell Road, where it terminates in the centre of the estate. It is locally referred to as 'The Old Road', 'The Red Road' or 'The Wide Path'.

==Football teams==
Colton has some very promising young football teams that are being developed. The funding for these football teams comes from Colton Club. The football teams go all the way up to the Under 18s. After that it becomes Colton Open Age. There is also a girls football team that is for all ages.
