View of Cavendish Road, nowadays part of the University Campus. Numbers 7 and 9, seen here, house part of the School of English. The houses in Cavendish Road took 32 years to complete. Number 7, left, was one of three houses built on land aquired by Joseph Horsfall in 1860, previously owned by J.H. Hebblethwaite. Horsfall was a machine-maker and partner in the Victoria Foundry. It was sold, on completion, to Henry Lampen, Superintendent Registrar for Leeds and in charge of the Leeds Census of 1861. Horsfall occupied number 3. A.O. Martin built number 9 also on land purchased from Hebblethwaite. Martin worked in Briggate as an Account Book Manufacturer. 3, 5, 7 and 9 Cavendish Road were originally numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 before the other side of the road was built in 1864. Colonel Harding's new house became number 1 after 1870 as it occupied the corner plot of Hillary Place and Cavendish Road. It is also addressed as number 8 Hillary Place. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds University Cavendish Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
