Description: | 1899.
At the time this photograph was taken much of the area around Marsh Lane was in the process of clearance and redevelopment. This view shows properties built under the arches of the North Eastern Railway viaduct. On the left, a man in formal dress stands in front of a pair of wooden doors in an old, single storey building. In the centre under an open porch a child stands next to a large mangle and there is a table, a barrel, a large tub and what appears to be a hip bath (behind the table). It would seem that laundry is undertaken here. A man is seated on a wooden box on the right and a woman stands behind the tub in the doorway. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | North Eastern Railway Viaduct Brussels Street Marsh Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
