Description: | June 1904. Looking up Chapel Hill from Morley Bottoms, this is part of a series of three photographs looking out of Morley Bottoms taken by Dan Wilkinson. Cheapside would be less than ten years old at this time and some of the names over the shops survived many years. The brick building by the side of the club field steps has never blended well with the rest of the buildings in Chapel Hill (it has a poster for the Leeds Empire on its side here). The altitude of the horses and carts coming down Chapel Hill show how steep it is. Old buildings line the whole of the right hand side in 1904 but the tall block behind Baxter's was demolished before the Second World War and replaced by large advertising hoardings.
