KIRKSTAL, (Yorkshire, W.R.) on the N. W. side of Leeds, has still the remains of an abbey, which after the Diss. was given
to Mr. Pakeman. Here are several corn and fulling-mills, a stone-bridge over the Are, which was made navigable hither in
the year 1698, and an iron-forge, with a mill for slitting iron into small bars and rods. It was the seat of the late Ben.
Wade, Esq;.
