A group photograph in celebration of a Benson family wedding, taken outside the family home, Woodsley House, number 53 Woodhouse Hill Road. Mr. Alfred Benson, the head of the family, was a coal merchant and a removal contractor. He is the gentleman with white whiskers standing to the right of the front door. His wife is seated in front of him, slightly to the left. The bride is one of their four daughters and she is dressed in a high-necked white lace gown with the fashionably full sleeves of the Edwardian period. An elegant white hat, which appears to be trimmed with feathers, is perched on her elaborate, supported hairstyle and she carries a huge bouquet. The bridal pair are flanked by two young girls with ringlets, possibly the bride's two younger sisters. The more mature ladies wear white blouses tucked into dark skirts and dark hats. The men sport bowler hats with the exception of one gentleman who wears a straw boater, very fashionable in the early years of the twentieth century. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Woodhouse Hill Road Alfred Benson wedding Woodsley House | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
