Image shows Calverley Cutting, a straight road blasted through the sandstone of Calverley Woods in the 1850s. It was part of a grandiose scheme to develop the woods for high class residential housing. At the time it was built the new road was not as favourable to the local population as the old meandering packhorse route it replaced. Although shorter, it was considerably steeper. Calverley Cutting ran from Carr Road through the woods to Apperley Bridge. The residential development of the area was never to be fully realized. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Apperley Bridge Calverley Cutting | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
