Description: | 7th August 1959
This section of Exeter Street has a rather complicated ground plan, the appearance of the houses giving no indication that each home has the entrance to a second house next to it. A pair of doors can be seen through the gap in the wall. The numbering was in pairs 2 and 6, 8 and 10 etc. Unlike true back-to-backs, the second 'invisible' house was entered via a passage which lay to the side of the house which is visible. The fronts of the hidden houses were on Camden Terrace, where they numbered 5 to 15. As the outside toilets for the whole block were located behind the wall in view, it is probable that the houses were designed in this unusual way to give access to the toilets, as none were provided on Camden Terrace side. In the left corner is a gas street lamp. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Camden Terrace Exeter Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
