View of a Monday cricket match in progress at Yeadon Cricket Ground during Yeadon Feast. Feast week was the third week in August when the local mills closed,initially for 3 days, but later for a week. The Cricket Ground is still at the rear of the White Swan Public House in the High Street. In the background Moorfield Mills are visible with Yeadon Moor and Bayton Lane behind (towards the right) Moorfield Mills was built in 1877 and the owner was William Murgatroyd ('Billy Murg'). The woollen industry in Yeadon employed a large percentage of the town's population. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | White Swan Yeadon Moor Moorfield Mills.
