Woodhouse, Leeds

Woodhouse is a largely residential area just north of the city centre of Leeds and home to the University of Leeds. It is in the Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward of City of Leeds metropolitan district.
==History==
The name ''Woodhouse'' is first attested around the 1170s as ''Wd(e)husa'', ''Wd(e)huse'', and ''Wudeusum''. It is likely to derive from Old English ''wudu'' 'wood' and ''hūs'' 'houses'.〔A. H. Smith, ''The Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire'', English Place-Name Society, 30–37, 8 vols (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1961–63), IV 130.〕 It was described in 1853 as a "large and handsome village".〔William White (1853) ''Directory and Gazetteer of Leeds, Bradford,.... West Riding of Yorkshire'' (reprinted 1969, Clarke Double & Brendon)〕
The original Woodhouse area of Leeds extended in a wide horseshoe arc travelling north from Burley Street (where it is known as Little Woodhouse), up along Clarendon Road, including the current site of the University of Leeds, across Woodhouse Moor (now a public park), then on towards its northernmost boundary, the steeply banked woodland of Woodhouse Ridge 〔(Forest of Leeds ) Woodhouse Ridge,〕 a part of the Meanwood Valley Trail and the Forest of Leeds (where the area was known as Woodhouse Cliff to the west and Woodhouse Carr to the south east).
During World War II the Institution Street (now Holborn Approach) area was accidentally bombed by the German Luftwaffe during night-time blackout air-raid attempts to destroy a nearby industrial target. Several buildings were hit and as a result 3 people at the bottom end of the street were killed.
