Description: | Undated,
An early 1950s view of the identical terraces of Douro Street. Each home shows the outward signs of respectability, displaying white lace curtains and well donkey stoned doorstep. A donkey stone is a very rough and crumbly stone when used wet it loses some of its surface onto the stone steps. These smaller pieces were rubbed over the step rubbing off the dirt. A weekly chore this also became a measure among women of house keeping skills. The brick chimney in the nackground belongs to Castleton Mills on Armley Road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Douro Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
