Description: | Undated,
An early 1900s view of Meanwood Beck. The word 'Meanwood' is derived from the Old English 'Maene wudu' meaning the Common Wood.
In the late seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth Meanwood Valley had many small industries in operation which relied on water from the beck to turn the water wheels. Some of the industries were flax spinning, paper-making, corn- milling and tanning for which oak-bark needed grinding. The beck ran from beyond Golden Acre to the River Aire at Crown Point Bridge. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Meanwood Meanwood Woods | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
