Named after the tannery which stood here and operated from 1816 to 1968. The tannery was founded by the Watson family, one of whom ,Joseph Watson, later became known as "Soapy Joe", after opening a soap factory on Whitehall Road in the centre of Leeds. (That business continues, but now under the name of Lever Faberge, making toiletries at a factory in Seacroft)
