View of Low Hall in Gill Lane originally owned by one of the leading families in Yeadon, the Marshalls. The lands and Hall passed down through the female line when Elizabeth Marshall married Walter Dinsdale of Otley in 1782. Their daughter Julie married Richard Barwick in 1814 and they inherited Low Hall. Richard Barwick operated Gill Mill which was built in 1819 on the site of a fulling mill dating from 1658. At the time of this photograph this was probably the home of John Marshall Barwick who was a solicitor.He was elected as a member of the Local Board in 1879 which dealt with issues such as public health and sanitation. He is documented as complaining on several occasions about effluent water being discharged into Yeadon Beck. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Low Hall Marshall Barwick.
