Description: | 15th April 1913
Construction of retaining wall to grounds of Kirkstall Forge, tools and materials can be seen. On the right building is Leeds Corporation Electricity sub-station. The Cistercian monks of Kirkstall Abbey had begun forging metal on this site as early as 1147. The forge has passed through many hands. It was renowned for the manufacture of heavy axles. It is likely to close 2002/2003. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Abbey Road Kirkstall Forge | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
