Thanks very much for this. I’m Leeds born and bred. Lived here for nearly 70 years and never before heard of Steander or Timble Beck. Although I knew it ran underground I assumed it was called Meanwood Beck all the way to the river.

[@GeogJuice]

Thank you

[@chrisdunderdale]

Wow! I have lived in Leeds all my life, and I’ve never heard of stender!

[@annienmouse9767]

I still think of Leeds as my home town even though I lived there for only 16 years. I have never heard of Steander until today. Fascinating!

[@My_man_G_UK]

Lived here most of my life (Leeds/ Dewsbury) and still didn't know about Steander! Always wondered about the ghost writing on those buildings going towards South Accommodation Road and now I know. Brilliant stuff is history

[@jobharath2812]

It’s beautiful and a bit of nostalgia walking down memory lane ❤

[@claudstertube]

I live in East Street Mills and this is a fascinating video to watch! Thank you

[@earsburning]

Brilliant information! I live in these apartments. It's so interesting to know the history of the area. Thanks for the video!

[@GeogJuice]

You are very welcome. Thank you for commenting

[@yvonneellis973]

Very interesting video it's great how you highlight and keep the lost districts alive. Through researching my family history I also know the area as Ste ander. My Crossley family lived there and also on Fearns Island, East Street and on a small almost impossible to find yard called Barkers yard which was on the junction of Crownpoint Road and East Street

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks Yvonne. I love finding out about these old areas of Leeds. I tried to discover the accurate pronunciation, but couldn't find agreement when I was making this video. Your family come from a very interesting corner of the city.

[@ianbennett1491]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story of history

[@GeogJuice]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Amber

[@tokenspirit1548]

Wonderful! I would love to see old photos of Park Row and district, where my family once owned the Bristle Factory, Eastwood.

[@arsalakhan8098]

I have lived in Leeds for nearly 60 years and recently retired from the university as an academic but had seen the district name in old papers etc. I also remember some of the old buildings in the 60s.
I have always viewed Leeds as hometown and very proud of the city I came to as a young primary school kid.

[@GeogJuice]

It is a marvellous city isn't it Arsala. I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Steander until recently.

[@jonathanhall7334]

Very interesting bit of local history

[@michaelbenson2954]

[@GeogJuice]

Thank you Johnny

[@robinfishwick6050]

I worked in G H Batty's brushworks on East Street in 1981-2. It was still in business in the mid 9o's but I don't know when it closed. You can see it on the aerial photograph at 5 minutes 30. It is just to the right of Leeds Dam and the Roberts Mart building is to its right. The apartment block that stands in its place is called Trinity One - probably because the factory was called Trinity Brush Works.

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks Robin

[@DavidHey-vd5wn]

Timble beck!! when i was a youngster in the fifties and atending elleby lane school we used to wander into leeds at the bottom of east street half buried in the ground alongside the air canal were gearwheels which looked like part of a lockgates, or sluice ore even some sort of water wheel driven system. Well i now have some understanding of the reason for this construction as a youngster i used to puzzle about this arrangement.Ive been left leeds now since 1968 and the place is unrecognisable to me!!

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks David, I am glad this video has brought back memories!

[@conifer2831]

Thanks for the information

[@nice-1299]

Look out and look down for the Steander forged iron pavement water pipe access covers in and around Leeds.

[@bugmanuk]

I love Leeds and this is pure magic to know

[@GeogJuice]

Thank you

[@MyCharlie20]

I found this place on my weather app. It said my location was Steander and I thought no I live Richmond Hill. Then I googled znd found this!

[@Yelto92]

Great channel

[@stephencockill5377]

Brilliant

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks Stephen

[@mrpibbsdotcom]

My great great grandfather ran the foundry (Dyson) in the first image.

[@GeogJuice]

That's amazing. Thank you

[@railwayvideos]

Do you know if any of the houses/mills were owned by John Blayds?

[@GeogJuice]

I didn't see that but I will look out for it from now on.

[@ann-mariepaliukenas19]

Look for Islington it was in Holbeck,not too far away

[@GeogJuice]

Thanks for the suggestion Ann-Marie

[@frogandspanner]

8:04 Oh dear! Examples of tin-can architecture. When will this hideous building fad end?

[@jiggersotoole7823]

Probably when it's no longer profitable. Or encouraged.

[@theleedstyke]

It’s pronounced Ste ander. Almost two words

[@GeogJuice]

Thank you. Are you familiar with the area and have used the name in conversation? This isn't a rude question. I am just interested in why you know that.

[@theleedstyke]

@@GeogJuice Hi, extremely familiar with both the area and to a lesser degree with Old Norse. Kindest regards

[@theleedstyke]

My Grt Grandfather was born by Very near to the beck in the year 1882, he and my Grt Grandmother would reminisce about the area shortly before their death. They both would pronounce the area as I outlined to you. Kindest regards
