Photograph of members of Queen Street Methodist Chapel and Sunday School about to set off on a Whitmonday walk.The photographer is E.E.Slater, owner of the house in the background, Hopeville. He was the son of local woollen manufacturer and historian, Philemon Slater, and he was manager of Manor Mills in Kirk Lane. As well as being an amateur photographer he was also the trustee of Queen Street Chapel. The stone-built Hopeville has large grounds and is situated between what was then South View Road and Harper Lane. Now the house is divided into apartments and much of the land has been built on, part of the Rufford Park Estate. South View Road which runs from the High Street now ends at the junction with Harper Lane. The section that continued at the other side of Harper Lane past the school and what would have once been the gardens of Hopeville but is now housing,is now called Rufford Avenue. Rooftops of Harper Rock are in the background right. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | E.E.Slater South View Road Harper Lane Harper Rock Hopeville Rufford Avenue | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
