Winn Moor Coal

Since Leeds is not famous for their coal, I thought it was a waste of time to do the coal search when I got the house.  There was a hint we might have coal, as the main road is called Coal Road. 

From the geological map in Yorkshire Museum, I spotted Whinmoor.  The coal seam did extended to Winn Moor, there used to be collieries in the areas.  I am glad to know my area better.
