Description: | Undated,
The view looks across the River Aire onto the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey. This picture was drawn by Thomas Girtin and engraved by W. Say. It was first published in 1824 as Plate 9 in a book called The Rivers of England. On the left is the laybrothers reredortor which still stands. The Abbey is shown in the rural setting of the 18th century when the Chapter House and Chapel were used to house cattle while the laybrothers building became a barn and an orchard was created in the Cloister. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Kirkstall Abbey River Aire | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
