View of the interior of the Crown Point Printing Works on Hunslet Road before being destroyed by fire on 30th September 1894. The printing works were owned by ALfred Cooke who had originally brought premises near Crown Point Bridge which had been destroyed by fire in 1880.
He bought a new site on Hunslet Road, shown in the photograph. After this building was lost in 1894 a new factory was built to the designs of Thomas Ambler, with a turret clock copying Leeds Town Hall. Alfred Cooke became Lord Mayor of Leeds in 1890 and lived at Weetwood Hall. This later became the property of the University as a Hall of Residence for women. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Interior Crown Point Printing Works | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
