Rhodes Square Meanwood/Woodhouse
Does any one have any info about Rhodes Square off Meanwood Road, I think it was just lower down from The Primrose PH but on the left coming out of Leeds, thank Trevor Hainsworth

It's on the 1850 map (you may have to squint!):
Still there, but not marked, in 1910. Subsequently landscaped without trace.

Still detectable in a mid-1950s Geographia street map "A1 Atlas of Leeds". A couple of streets from my fathers birth address!

That's a fantastically detailed map - is it the 1:500 town plan? Where did you get it from?

Yes Mark it is the 1/500 map surveyed by the Ordnance Survey for the borough of Leeds. I have a number of these maps, however they do not cover the whole of the Leeds area unfortunately.

Re: Rhodes Square Meanwood/Woodhouse
So is it from an original or is there a reprint available somewhere? Don't think they're online are they?

Re: Rhodes Square Meanwood/Woodhouse
Back on the subject of Rhodes square - the tithe map (1847) shows a lot of the land in that area as being property of 'The trustees of Abraham Rhodes', so presumably that's where the name came from.
