This 1900 image shows the Bramley Organ Works with Cross Bath Road on the left and Hough Lane on the right. Established by James Jepson Binns of Warrel's Grove in 1880. In the late 1870s Binns worked for the organ builders Messrs Abbot & Co., when he was challenged on a matter of organ building by the Leeds musician J.W. Broughton. When Binns succeeded in the task, Broughton found investers to help start up the Bramley Organ Works. Binns (1855-1929) outstanding work and the style of his organ builcing contributed to him earning the nickname 'Battleship Binns'. Demolition of the works and a redevelopment of the surrounding back-to-back terraced houses began after the 1950s | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Hough Lane Bramley Organ Works | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
