People hardly every say it right!
And one Leeds village which is commonly mispronounced is Stourton. A lot of people would think the village name is pronounced as 'stour-ton' but in fact it is 'stur-tun'.
Stourton dates back to the Industrial Revolution and was a community of about 2,500 people with its own churches and pubs. During the '70s the housing was demolished in the area to make way for motorways and industrial developments. The village was also home to Skelton Grange power station before being demolished in 1995. Stourton is filled with businesses and has been a home to John Waddingtons, Yorkshire Copperworks, Camerons Iron Works, and more.
