View of the remains of the ancient Shire Oak enclosed by iron railings. It collapsed in 1941 during a gale and a fragment of it was preserved in the Lady Chapel of St Michael's Church, at the junction of Otley Road and St Michael's Road, centre. The Mouseman of Kilburn, Robert Thompson, carved the Madonna and child from a portion of the old tree stump. The photograph is early Twentieth Century and shows Taylor's Drug Company Ltd. at number 5 Otlley Road, 'The Great Cash Chemists known everywhere'. At the right edge a woman stands before the window of Mary Coutts, milliner, of number 7 Otley Road. A horse-bus is visible at the junction with St Michael's Road. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St Michael's Road Otley Road St Michael's Church Shire Oak | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
