Description: | June 1967. View of exterior walls at Kirkstall Abbey. There are benches against the walls. Kirkstall Abbey is an example of early Cistercian architecture. It was completed between 1152 and 1182. Its community was disbanded in 1539 with the dissolution of the monasteries. The abbey was then used as a quarry for local building works and for farming. From 1799 repairs and restoration work were carried out and it was opened to the public in 1895. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | ruin wall abbey | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=94... | Go to resource |
