Description: | 2005.
A peaceful scene in Western Flatts Park. The corporation acquired the land from the Cliffs in 1902. It was an area of shallow coal pits and slag heaps but was transformed into Lower Wortley recreation ground. In 1928, Stephen Cliff gifted Western Flatts House and grounds to extended the park area. Walter Cliff was a great believer in parks to enhance the health of working people.He had financial interests in the large refreshment rooms in Roundhay Park and cafe in Canal Gardens. He was keen to prove that good food and leisure facilities could be made available to everyone at reasonable cost. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Cliff Western Flatts Park | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
