Description: | 22nd July 1964.
This large industrial area was situated off Jack lane, the entrance was 164 Jack Lane, it was originally the Crown Bottle Works founded by the Bower family. By 1964 it was used by various businesses, this view shows a row of garages. This was to become part of the site used for the Hunslet Grange Flats (Leek Street). These were built to replace the old back-to-back terraces which were demolished for slum clearance. The flats were developed by the Yorkshire Development Company. They were constructed to a system built design by Shephard Construction of York. There were 2,500 units, completed by 1968 but in 1983 had to be demolished, due to ongoing problems with damp, condensation and high heating costs. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Jack Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
