Description: | 1900
View looks across Meanwood Beck onto Woodland's Mill. The beck had been damned to provide power to a waterwheel used by Benjamin Pullan, linseed oil millers. Benjamin Rowley took over the lease in 1865, introducing a steam powered engine to crush stone mined from his nearby quarry. It was used as a dyeworks by Edward Crowther up until the late 1940s. The buildings were demolished and the surrounding area was landscaped by Leeds Corporation who bought the site in 1974. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Woodland's Mill | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
