Rhubarb Triangle (Tingley)The Rhubarb Triangle is a nine square mile triangle in West Yorkshire, England located between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell. The Rhubarb Triangle is frequently referred to as being located between Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield but this 70 square mile triangle is eight times bigger than, and doesn't even geographically cover, the real Rhubarb Triangle.
Only a few decades ago, more than 90% of the world's forced rhubarb crop was grown in this small area. Here rhubarb grows in forcing sheds while it is still winter, preceding the crop grown out-of-doors. There is even a rhubarb festival each February.
