In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Leeswood like this:
LEESWOOD, a township in Mold parish, Flint; 2 miles SE of Mold. It contains the hamlets of Llong and Pontblyddyn. Real property, £9,585; of which £5,000 are in mines, and £1,000 in iron-works. Pop. in 1851, 741; in 1861,1,190. Houses, 239. The increase of pop. arose mainly from the opening of new collieries. A seat of the Wynnes was here.
