Description: | Undated,
Photo taken possibly between 1945 (there are war time black out marks on the lamp post) and 1952 when these houses had been demolished. On the left is number 33, then 35. At the end of the yard are toilets and middens. In the background is Walker's Yard. These houses have the appearance of weavers cottages, which was a common occupation in Holbeck. It was not until the 1840/50s that handloom weaving was overtaken by industrialisation. In 1838 there were still 10,000 hand weavers in the Leeds area. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Low Moor Side | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
