Description: | Undated,
The hamlet of Old Belle Isle was made up of three rows of cottages situated between Belle Isle Beck and Old Run Road. The properties in view were built in 1794 by Charles Brandling as homes for his colliery workers and their families although a reference to 'Newbel-ile' in the 1762 Rothwell Parish registers suggest that an earlier settlement had also been situated here. Houses are unnumbered. Two properties on the right of the row are derelict. Butresses support the gable end. In the foreground is a stream which feeds into Belle Isle Beck. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Old Belle Isle Cottages | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
