Without digging in to the archives does anyone remember a street" Steander" ? having a pint on a summers day when the Pub was overflowing.

Yes, plenty of us on here used to do the East Street run, including the Waterloo next to Steander. You'll find some mentions of it on here if you put it in the search box.Well done everyone on the battle street names - I think we can officially declare polo the winner.

Steander was actually the name of a foundry back at the turn of the C.20th. Likely named after "Steander" the street it was on. (check 1910 OS map) THis must have given rise to the area name. I think Phil has some photos of the bridge over Timble Beck that was made by them on a traffic Island somewhere in Leeds.
