Description: | c1967. Building in the background is Seacroft Grange built in 1627 and at this time used as part of the school. The Grange was originally the home of the Tottie family and was known as 'Tottie Hall' until 1837 when it became the property of John Wilson and was known as Seacroft Grange. The Wilson coat of arms is displayed in stone over the east door. One of the tenants at the turn of the century was Dr. William Pogson who was a skin specialist and developed a soap known as 'Dr. Pogson's soap'. He was the Seacroft doctor from 1872 until his death in 1912. The Grange was the home of the primary school from 1941 to 1974; it then became an Adult Education Centre but is now boarded up and derelict. In the foreground of the photograph are the grounds with a climbing frame and children playing on it. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | playground The Green Primary School | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=96... | Go to resource |
