Middleton, Leeds history
Middleton is derived from the Old English middel-tun, Middleton. Middleton was the middle settlement or farm on the road from Morley to Rothwell.
Industrial history
In 1669 Frances Conyers of New Hall had “cole pits” in Middleton . The pits were small and numerous and many worked for a short time . Gin pits using horses to turn the windlass were the next development . Deep mining arrived with the advent of steam engines to pump water out of the mines and keep the workings dry .
20th century
In 1919, the grounds of Middleton Lodge were leased by Leeds Council for use as a public park . The rural nature of the area changed soon after 1 April 1920 when the township was incorporated into the County Borough of Leeds . Leeds Council acquired land to construct “a vast low-density corporation built cottage estate with circuses and avenues”
