Description: | 2005.
View looks across from Green Hill Road to Armley Cemetery which was opened by Ephraim Barnsbee Esq., Chairman of Armley Burial Board, on 30th August 1887. The cost of the land was ?2,963 and the buildings ?2,780. The Chapel was built in 1886 and is Grade II listed, The 73' high spire can just be glimpsed through the trees, left of centre. It was designed by J.P. Pritchett in the Gothic Revival Style. The Cemetery Lodge, right, also dates from 1886 and is Grade II listed. It is built on two storeys in coursed gritstone and has 2 projecting gabled bays. When it was laid out, the Cemetery provided 5988 spaces measuring 1.20 metres by 2.70 metres. It was thought that Armley would require no further burial accommodation for 90 years (based on projected figures for the population of 1901). | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Armley Cemetery Green Hill Road Chapel lodge | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
