Yeadon Feast was held annually in the third week of August in Albert Square, also known as Penny Fool Hill. It apparently got its name when Hannah Green,a local 'witch' and her daughter offered home-brewed cures in exchange for pennies. People looked forward to the Feast - it was a time when the mills shut down, initially for three days but in later years for a whole week. In the background, left, is a popular ride called 'Barker's Flyers'. A young lady lifts her long skirts as she sedately descends the wooden steps of the carousel in the foreground. A young boy is aware of the camera as he hands out flyers. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Penny Fool Hill Albert Square Yeadon Feast. | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
