Leeds. January 2019. Leeds is divided into five groups from the most deprived fifth of Leeds the "deprived fifth", to the least. Because this divides 98% Leeds by MSOAs, it is a slightly generalised and removes detail in very small areas. Ward deprivation scores take IMD scores for small areas, and 0% 0% 0% 2% weights them using population size in mid 2018. The result is Most Least like an average deprivation score for the ward area but giving deprived fifth deprived fifth greater weight to those areas with more residents. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of- deprivation-2015 All wards by deprivation score GP recorded ethnicity, top 5 in ward % Ward % Leeds Wards are scored taking into account the numbers of people and the levels of deprivation where they live, the higher the score White British 90.7% 70% the more deprived the ward population.

DSR removes the effect that differing age structures have on data, and allow comparison of 'young' and 'old' areas. GP data can only reflect those patients who visit their doctor. Certain groups within the population are known to present late, or not at all, therefore it is important to remember that GP data is not the whole of the picture.

  • Our Pullein Ancestors
    OUR PULLEIN ANCESTORS J Brian Hardaker Version dated May 2017 The # numbers are the identification numbers in Our Family Tree on the website Names in bold type are believed to be in my direct ancestral line. Our link to the Pullein family comes through Mary Pullan, the wife of John Hardaker of Idle. Mary was born in Idle in 1786 and died there in 1854. She and John had ten children, among them Samuel Hardaker, father of John Lee Hardaker, my paternal grandfather. We can trace the history of the Pullans because of the vast research effort into the family by Catharine Pullein in her book The Pulleyns of Yorkshire, published in 1915 by J. Whitehead and Son of Leeds (pp. viii + 799). What follows comes mostly from that source.1 The Origin of the Name As is clear from the variants already introduced, there have been many different spellings of the name. While Pullan seems most common these days, we shall soon see that there are reasons to believe that Pullein or Pulleyn would be more correct. After examining a number of other possibilities, Catharine concludes that the name originated in the Crusades. This long series of wars, which occurred intermittently for about 200 years, have some echoes in modern problems in the Middle East. In A.D. 1095 a religious fanatic called Peter the Hermit became fired with holy indignation at insults by Moslems to the Christian pilgrims visiting Jerusalem and at the desecration of sacred places there. He travelled around Europe rousing Christians with stories of the wrongs done.

  • DOWN the LINE from THORNER a 3.5 Mile Easy Going Walk Which Can Be Muddy in Places; 4 Stiles
    DOWN THE LINE FROM THORNER A 3.5 mile easy going walk which can be muddy in places; 4 stiles Thorner village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") which probably means "thorn tree". The Thorner parish area used to include the nearby villages of Scarcroft and Shadwell. Thorner is also noted for having no street lighting, and a pétanque area. Start point – Mexborough Arms, Main Street, Thorner. There is ample street parking on Main Street. With the Mexborough Arms at your back, cross straight over Main Street to take the road forward ahead of you which is Stead Lane and then right along Butts Garth. Continue forward taking the first road on your left with a footpath sign to Barwick and Scholes. The road eventually becomes a farm track; keep straight ahead and then around a left hand bend. Ignore the steps and stile to your right and just before an old railway bridge, turn right and immediately left on to a footpath with a wooden fence, to your right to reach a metal kissing gate. Now, turn right and follow the footpath straight forward. You are now on the route of the original railway that ran from Leeds to Wetherby. The passenger service between Leeds and Wetherby was withdrawn in January 1964, closing the intermediate stations. The Leeds to Wetherby was the first line in Yorkshire to fall victim to the Beeching plan published in 1963 and 1964 was the peak year for line closures with over 1000 miles 'axed'. Penda’s Way, Scholes, Thorner, Bardsey, Collingham Bridge, and Wetherby stations were all closed.

  • The Three Milestones of Scarcroft, West Yorkshire Lionel Scott
    This paper first appeared in Milestones and Waymarkers, vol. 8 (2015), published by the Milestone Society (www.milestonesociety.co.uk; Yorkshire Branch www.yorkshire-milestones.co.uk); © The Milestone Society and the Author. The plan and photographs figs 2-5 are by the Author; figs 6-7 by a Mr Ecclestone formerly of Shadwell. ............................................................................... The three milestones of Scarcroft, West Yorkshire Lionel Scott The village of Scarcroft contains three milestones, all Grade II listed. One is a standard turnpike stone, which of itself would not merit special mention; but the other two are pre- turnpike stones which each raise difficult questions of interpretation. To help the reader unfamiliar with the area, a little background is desirable. Roads and places not shown on Fig 1 can be easily accessed on Google Maps or similar. Scarcroft now sits astride the A58, the first village north of Leeds in the direction of Wetherby. However, from the outskirts of Leeds to Collingham, a couple of miles from Wetherby, the A58 is "new", that is to say that it was constructed as a turnpike under an Act of 1824. At its southern end it connected to the Leeds to Roundhay turnpike (Act of 1808; Roundhay was then a village 4 miles north of Leeds); at its northern end it connected to the Otley to Tadcaster turnpike (Act of 1753) at Collingham. The latter, now the A659, passes through Collingham and Wetherby en route to Tadcaster. So before 1826 the only access out of Scarcroft was to go east or west. Fig 1 shows the roads on Jeffery's 1771 map of Yorkshire superimposed in red on a modern map, with modern road names (also used below); part of the A659 runs along the top.
