Description: | 13th September 1911.
View from the corner of Pendulum Street (bottom right) to Regent Street where demolition of old property is underway. The nearest door to the camera is numbered 69. Numbers 67 and 69 had at one time been shops and the 1899 directory lists number 69 as the business of J. Simon, Tobacconist. Moving right along Regent Street there is the junction with Saint Street. On each corner of Saint Street there are shop premises; in 1906 number 81 was the business of Hyman Wolfe and the proprietor of number 83a was David Lebovitch. The junction with Cloth Street is at the right edge. The Leylands was an area of Leeds, within the boundaries of Skinner Lane, North Street, Regent Street and Lady Lane, where poor Jewish immigrants settled and worked in the 19th century. In the early years of the 20th century the jewish population began to move north and the Leylands was eventually demolished over a period of several years. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Pendulum Street Regent Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
