Description: | Undated,
The image was taken in the early 1950s of the back to back terraces on Devonshire Street.
In the distance on the left is visible the top of the coal depot run by the Direct Coal and Lime Co Ltd for coal and coke. The small brick structure below with the words 'Healthy Puppies for sale' daubed on the side would have been the shared toilet for several houses, up to 30 people per loo. Keys were kept behind house doors with large wooden key fobs to prevent theft. Scrubbing the toilet seat was a weekly chore for women who judged one another on how well the job was done. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Devonshire Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
