Mabgate

Mabgate is an inner city area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England and the name of one of its streets.

[1] Mabgate, the street, continues for a short distance on the south side of New York Road (A64(M)).

The area west of the Lady Beck was known as the Leylands, a mixture of slum housing and factories in the 19th and early 20th century.

[6] Maps from 1725 and 1771 show the region as open land, but by 1821 a named street (as is Skinner Lane) with buildings along much of its length had been built.

[1] The Hope Foundry produced ironwork for street furniture such as lamps, bollards, benches and mileposts, many of which are still around.
