Image shows a recostructed Victorian Street in the Abbey House Museum named for St Stephen Harding, Abbot of St Citeaux, who along with St Bernard founded the Cistertian Order to which Kirkstall Abbey belonged. The building visible in the image is built of local gritstone with interiors typical of the 1880s. On the left is the George William Senior, Leeds Pottery founded by the Green Bros 1760. Original moulds from the Hunslet works are on display here as well as the wheel and tools used by George W Senior, the last of the Leeds Potters. The Green Bros started the works in the late 18th century and were famous for their Queens Ware, a cream coloured earthenware with a fire glaze finish. On the right is the entrance to a Cromwellian Chapel where the pulpit and pews have been relocated from Bramhope Old Chapel (1649). | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Stephen Harding Gate Abbey House Museum | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
