Description: | Undated
Photo taken prior to clearance of the area in the mid 1950s. Bog Hall is the large ivy clad house, divided into two homes. Set back from Meanwood Road, with large walled garden and stone outbuildings. Of Georgian appearance it predates 1847. The road on the right led to Spa Buildings and the site of an ancient sulphur spa well, visited and described by historian Ralph Thoresby. It was said that sulphur water would surge and bubble from quagmire or bog, presumably the house was named for the well which was close by. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Meanwood Road Bog Hall | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
