Description: | 1986
View shows a sloped field on Moseley Farm which ran down to Moseley Beck on the left. The field was just north of the farm house and was in the 17th century used as a tenter ground. Cloth was stretched over a tenter frame to dry after being soaked in water mixed with urine and fuller's earth, then pounded either by hand or by machine. During the time the cloth was on the frames it was at the mercy of the elements and could potentially be ruined in the final stages of finishing. The phrase 'on tenterhooks' refers to this fraught time. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Moseley Farm | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
