View of the basement of tinsmith, Hugh Hall's workshop located in the High Street. He made a variety of domestic containers such as pans and buckets and also agricultural equipment. He offered a repair service for tin and copper goods and also sold many other items of household ironmongery and hardware. Many of the tools of the tinsmith trade were transfered from here to the York Castle Museum. Dr. John Lamplugh Kirk, the founder of the museum, recreated a Victorian Street called Kirkgate to preseve the evidence of a way of life which was disappearing. The shop in the High Street was formerly 'The Yorkshire Hussar' until 1850 after became a cafe and cake shop. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | tinsmith High Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
