Description: | 23rd March 1960.
The row of cottages on the right are numbered from left to right, 14 to 2 Patchett's Place. At one time they were owned by the Proctor family who ran the China and Hardware shop (off camera to the right) and fronting Lower Town Street at number 158. The first house after their living accommodation was number 4 and the Proctors used it as storage for large and bulky items of hardware. The small shed-like structure towards the right was used to store paraffin which was sold by the pint or gallon. The cottages were tiny with low ceilings and doors. There were two steps down into the living room and a first-floor bedroom divided into two by tongue and groove wooden planks. The houses had little natural light due to the smalll windows and were still lit by gas as late as 1950, having no electricity supply (Yards 'n' Yards of Bramley, a publication by Bramley History Society). | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lower Town Street Patchett's Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
