Numbers 11, 13 Lyddon Terrace are the large three storey houses, built in 1825 by the Lyddons to let as an investment. The houses had large kitchen cellars, impressive dining and drawing rooms and water closet. A further four bedrooms on the second floor. The 1841 Census gives some details of tenants, at number 11 was Robert Frost he had 4 servants in residence. In 1845 he bought the house when it was offered for sale by the Chancery Court. He lived there until his death in 1875, a total of 50 years. He also bought the opposite plot of land to prevent houses being erected and spoiling his view, so numbers 14/16 Lyddon Terrace never existed. It is thought that 3 of his 5 children were born in the house. Living in number 13 was William Willcock, keeping 3 servants. He was collector of stamp duties for the borough. He was also a tenant of the Lyddons, but left after the property sale in 1845. They are now part of the University of Leeds Campus. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lyddon Terrace | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
