It was once a haunt of poachers and smugglers, as well as a joiner who slept in a coffin

"Another account of the village in 1875 said it was ‘a poor place with only eighteen dwelling houses’, and was a haunt of poachers and smugglers, as well as a joiner who slept in a coffin."The document added:"Thankfully those days are over, and the village now has a thriving community."

Street names in the village include - naturally - Leeds Terrace, as well as St Mary Terrace, Manse Street, Loval Street and Mormond View.
