Description: | Undated. Late 1980s. In 1817 the site for these houses was bought from John and Barbara Marshall of Yeadon. A mutual self-help building began to construct the houses. The trustees were William and Richard Thompson of Rawdon, Joseph Hartley, also of Rawdon and Joseph Marshall of Yeadon. The site slopes, so the houses were built in steps, four at a time and were sold in pairs. It is thought that some home weaving was carried out. Why it was called 'Canada' road is unclear, the area had been known as Cross Hills. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Canada Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
