Description: | April 1969. This is the junction between Bank Street and Brunswick Street, taken from Dawson Hill. Bank Street runs from Victoria Road to Church Street, first down a steep section locally called the Old Hill (coming in on this photograph from the left) and then back up to the top of Chapel Hill (going off to the right), where some well-known houses were situated in the 18th century. These were Prospect House, Yew Tree House, Bank House and Corporal Crowther's House. Of these Prospect House, in front of the Prospect Mills, Yew Tree House and half of Bank House are shown. Notice the high protective walls keeping the soil in position in this area. Opposite the junction where the old buildings are shown in the bottom right hand corner was Hirst's Yard where the 1849 outbreak of cholera in Morley first started.
