This house stood to the rear of the Manor Mill, now demolished. It existed before the mill. it was not the home of the Lord of the Manor of Yeadon. It is possible that the Marshall family were once in residence , date stone over a doorway had the date 1690, with the initials DIM. Notable owner was Joseph Cawthra who had owned the Old Dog mill on Kirk Lane, opposite the manor. He emigrated to Canada in 1810. An advertisement in the Leeds Intelligencer 4th July 1780 indicates the size of the property 'To be let at Upper Yeadon, all that messuage known by the name of Yeadon Hall, 6 large chambers on the first floor with chambers over. 2 large cellars, Barn, Stables, Chaise House, Grainaries, Dove Cote, Garden, etc. Shop and warehouse suitable for wool stapler or manufacturer. 27 days work of land. Apply Richard Clayton on the premises'. The house was demolished in 1957. This view of the house shows part of the mill to the left and what appears to be an extension to the house on the right. The mill is now also demolished and the site used as a leisure complex. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Manor House | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
