Description: | Undated,
A house had stood on this site inhabited by the Whalley family from the 17th century. The Oates family were the next owners, who demolished the existing house and rebuilt on the foundations. Edward Oates was largely responsible for laying out the woodland walks and parkland, mostly as they remian now, Col. E. Kitson Clark lived there from 1904 (renting until 1917) to 1943 when he died. When his widow died in 1954 Leeds Council bought the estate. It became part of Meanwood Park, the house was pulled down. This view is in the spring when daffodils are in bloom. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Meanwoodside | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
