Leeds residents in an estate nicknamed ‘soggy bottom’ have decried how “nonsensical” the nickname is.
They’ve claimed the derogatory nickname is nothing but misleading “propaganda” that it's built on a floodplain, devised to put people off Moseley Green in Cookridge. The inhabitants have proudly remarked on their drainage system which they've said keeps ‘soggy bottoms’ at bay.
The estate, built by Taylor Wimpey, is located on a hill by a stream called Moseley Beck. The landscape of the suave looking new build is scattered with “higgledy-piggledy” drainage burrows along the rolling hill which the residents swear by.
