Description: | 1964.
Dock Street looking West in the direction of Bridge End. This narrow street was at one time a hive of activity. On the right are Aire and Calder Navigation buildings where goods were loaded from carts onto barges and vice-versa via loading dock platforms. On the left are Georgian properties which once belonged to early wool cloth merchants. A sign on the first floor of number 32 indicates the premises of Peel's Printing Press. This area no longer looks run-down and dingy as in this image from the 1960s. Leeds Waterfront has been rejuvenated with a mix of new and old. Old buildings have been renovated with the emphasis on conservation and preservation. There are smart riverside and loft apartments for city living and a variety of shops, hotels restaurants and bars. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Dock Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
