Image shows the slabbing of Quarry Hill flats during the 1936 construction. This form of slabbing was the Mapin System, first used in France. This new method of construction was both quicker and cheaper. 524,634 slabs were used in the building of Quarry Hill flats, however the structure was weakened when water seepage rusted the framework. The flats were demolished between 1975 and 1978. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Quarry Hill Flats Slabbing | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
