Description: | 1948
In the background is the chapel in the South transcept. Enclosed within the railing is a corner of the infirmary. The shallow trough was used to cleanse the bodies of deceased monks, prior to burial in the adjacent cemetary. Water was carried into the Abbey by a continuous drain. Waste was carried from all parts of the Abbey into the River Aire. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Kirkstall Abbey Drain | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
