Later records show Killingbecks of Chapel Allerton were local landowners: John Killingbeck was Mayor of Leeds in 1677 and his son John was Vicar of Leeds from 1690 to 1716. The Killingbeck estate was situated north of the York Road, and east of Wyke Beck, including what is now Killingbeck Cemetery and the shopping centre. The estate also owned Manston Hall on the south side of York Road, which is now the site of Seacroft Hospital. The estate was purchased by Leeds Corporation in 1898, and the 18th century Killingbeck Hall was the starting building for Killingbeck Hospital, which was closed in 1997, the Hall itself having been demolished in 1978. Killingbeck colliery was south of the York Road and the railway line in what is now Primrose Valley Park, Halton.
