View looking across Woodhouse Square from Clarendon Road to Great George Street. This was taken before 1962 as the spire of St. George's Church can be seen, this fell down in February 1962. Woodhouse Square was planned in 1828 when John Hill, then owner of Claremont, had proposed a Square, twice as large as the eventual Square, which would have taken almost all the grounds of Claremont. A much reduced Square was built in 1839. The central garden of the Square was changed from an oval to a circle when Claremont Avenue and Villas were built in 1897 although the streets were built in the grounds of Claremont. Further alterations to the gardens took place after a wartime static water tank was sited there creating the present sunken garden, and after the alterations in 1964 for the Inner Ring Road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Woodhouse Square | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
