View of Stoneleigh House, as it is now known, the first School Clinic for Morley, standing at the junction of Commercial Street with Albion Street. The image dates from the early part of the First World War and shows the original garden and wrought iron railings. A nurse in uniform stands in the doorway. The picture was first used in George Wood's 'Story of Morley' published in 1916. George Wood was the first teacher appointed by Morley School Board in 1880 and when he published this book was about to retire as Headmaster of Peel Street Boys' School - hence his interest in School Clinics. When the School Clinic moved to the former Gas Office further down Commercial Street the house became offices for different industrial firms (e.g. Wheway Watson) and then became the premises of the solicitor's, Stapleton Gardener.
