Description: | Undated.
This 1950s image shows very old housing and a partially cleared area. On the left, there is an advertising hoarding and the entrance to what was formerly Leak Street, once a small enclave of 17 properties. The houses in the foreground are in Church Street and number, from left to right, 71a and 73 Church Street, with part of the side wall of number 75 jutting forward at the right edge. Painted on the wall of number 75 is the sign 'Greenwood Bros. Midland Glass Works Office'. The rear of number 71a was also numbered as 17 Leak Street and it adjoined numbers 15 and 16 Leak Street. These last two properties are demolished in this image. In the distance a sign can be seen advertising Commercial Engineering Co Ltd. on the gable end of number 2 Waterton Terrace. Waterton Terrace runs parallel to Grove Road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leak Street Waterton Terrace Church Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
