Description: | 31st January 1933.
View of Westfield Farm, located on Beecroft Hill, between Broad Lane and Stanningley Road. It was once part of a 17 acre estate including Westfield House, a barn, stables and a row of six cottages on Stanningley Road. Between about 1829 and 1856 Westfield Farm, including the estate, had been the property of Farmer, Auctioneer and Land Agent, Frederick Stowe. It was sold at auction in 1867 and Westfield House later became the residence of John Gaunt, a Cloth Manufacturer at nearby Westfield Mill, of the firm John Gaunt & Son. The buildings seen here were demolished shortly after this photograph was taken to build the Fairfield Housing Estate in the early 1930s. The land in the foreground has been excavated to build one of the new roads for the estate, possibly Fairfield Hill or Fairfield Row. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Westfield Farm Fairfield Estate Fairfield Hill Fairfield Row Stanningley Road Broad Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
