Description: | 13th September 1983.
This house was purpose built as a seminary for young ladies in 1875 by Miss Elizabeth Matterson and is numbered as 10 cavendish Road. She originally ran her day and boarding school from number 8 next door, but, although it too was purpose built, it did not meet the requirements of her expanding business and was consequently sold. Now part of the University Campus, the house is occupied by the School of English but still retains its original wide staircases designed to enable the young ladies to walk in double file. Above the arched entrance the keystone is a carving of a woman's head which is thought to be that of Miss Elizabeth Matterson. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds University Matterson Cavendish Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
