Description: | 1st July 1942.
In the early 1890s four Whitaker brothers - Sammuel, Benjamin, Thomas and Matthew, purchased land and developed quarrying, engineering and brickmaking. The so called 'Horsforth' bricks (works was just over from the Horsforth boundary) were used by many local builders. They were a by-product of the main quarrying operation. Stone from the quarry was of a high quality. The Sea-front wall at Scarborough is constucted of Horsforth Stone. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Whitaker Butcher Hill Hawksworth | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
