Description: | June 1965. Fountain Street in Morley was originally called Field Lane - hence the name of the mill on Little Fountain Street. It was changed after the building of the Great Northern Railway in 1858, and various other late Victorian and Edwardian developments gave housing a boost e.g. Dartmouth Park, the Baths and the Electricity works, the two schools (Cross Hall and the Secondary School) and the tramway system. The later terraces in this part of Fountain Street still survive because despite being back-to-back, they are well built of stone and slate, have large enough rooms to make conversions, have substantial gardens aand are not right on the road side. The long row of terraces were not all built immediately after each other but in different lots, the newest ones being near the middle.
