Leazes
The name, Leazes, refers to green pastures used for hay cropping, once part of an area of common land outside the old town wall, known as Castle Leazes. Building was allowed on part of the land from the C18th, including the football ground Link
Leazes Park was created on part of the Leazes Town Moor and was officially opened in 1873. It has a lake which was originally intended for ice-skating and boating. It’s stocked and fished by Leazes Park Angling Association.
