Geography and buildings Meanwood consists predominantly of nineteenth-century industrial buildings in Meanwood Valley at the sides of Meanwood Beck. There is also nineteenth-century terraced housing on the valley side leading up to Headingley, Weetwood and Woodhouse, along with an area of woodland known locally as The Ridge. New estates have been built in Meanwood with grand, suburban housing, the Woodleas, the Stonegates and the Bowoods. Twentieth-century council housing mixed with open space forms the opposite side of the valley leading up to Scott Hall. Meanwood Park, in the north of the area, is one of Leeds's best loved open spaces, and Meanwood is also home to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm. With the Meanwood valley trail and its vast park, Meanwood has a distinctly countryside feel. The Meanwood Beck is a stream in Yorkshire, England, that flows into the river Aire. ...
