View of Castlegarth, situated west of the Market Place close to the River Wharfe. It was originally known as Pelham House and in the 1870s was owned by John Bradley who ran a Leeds based coachbuilding business. He was a staunch Catholic and before the new Catholic Church opened in Wetherby in 1882, he arranged for the celebration of mass in the loft of the coach house and livery stable of his home. A game of croquet is taking place on the lawn in front of Castlegarth in this view. The gentleman on the right wearing a straw boater is Doctor James A. Hargreaves who was Medical Officer of Health on Wetherby District Council from 1894 to 1939. He also owned the first motorcar in Wetherby. It had the number plate V4 meaning that it was only the fourth to be registered in Leeds. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | John Bradley Castlegarth Pelham House | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
