Description: | 1904. Taken in December 1904, part of the Swinegate/Sovereign Street improvement scheme. This view is the back of Tenter Lane, facing towards the River Aire. The name Tenter Lane presumably derives from the frames which were used to stretch cloth. Tenter frames were laid out and lengths of cloth hooked on to stretch and dry. The saying 'on tenterhooks' is taken from this practice. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Mill Tenter Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
