View of the Alexandra Staircases in Morley Town Hall. The stained glass windows in view represent 'Wisdom', 'Patience' and 'Truth' and are three of thirteen dedicated stained glass windows presented to Morley in a special ceremony held on 8th December 1902. They were gifted, respectively, by Councillor Benjamin Hirst, a member of Morley's first Town Council of 1886 until his death in 1903; Mrs. James Barker in memory of her late husband. He was a manufacturer at Deanfield mills and also a member of Morley's first Town Council until his death in 1895; finally, Mrs. William B. Jackson in memory of her late husband. He founded the company, W.& E. Jackson, based at Peel Mills, along with his brother in 1866. The balustrades of the staircase are scroll-worked in wrought iron and the hand-rails are in moulded mahogany. The Town Hall was officially opened on 16th October 1895. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Morley Town Hall Staircase | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
