Description: | Undated.
This hexagon-shaped building is the General Wade pub. Named after General Marshall Wade (1671 - 1751) he set up a camp for his troops on Woodhouse Moor and led forces north to protect the country from possible invasion following Bonnie Prince Charlie's landing in Scotland in July 1745. Visible behind the pub is the Merrion Centre carpark where a sign gives directions to the bowling alley. On the right is Wade Lane, named after Leeds benefactor Thomas Wade (1530) who left money to be spent for the benefit of the Citizens of Leeds. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | The General Wade Wade Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
