Description: | 1901.
View from The Green looking up Town Street in the early twentieth century. To the left is the Old King's Arms Hotel where there is an open window and balcony on the first floor. Signs advertise 'Good Stabling & Billiard Room' and 'Horsforth Harriers Club Headquarters' To the right is the Black Bull, serving Tetley's Fine Ales and Guinness Stout. The Alma Inn is next door, advertising Whitaker's & Co's Celebrated Ales. A dray wagon, pulled by a horse, is standing outside the Black Bull in front of a horse and cart. There are several flag poles in view, and curtains are drawn at upstairs windows. Queen Victoria had died in January 1901 and perhaps these were to do with the period of mourning that was observed throughout the country. However, judging by the trees in the background the photograph would appear to have been taken during the summer of 1901. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Old King's Arms Black Bull Alma Inn Town Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
