Description: | May 1961.
Image shows an area of lawn, flower beds and blossom trees on the filled-in land of the former Morley Hole near the Dartmouth Feast Ground. Some of the buildings in the background have since disappeared. At the level of Brunswick Street, just behind the flower beds, is Jos. Hirst's Row. This terrace of houses had a completely windowlesss back wall which abutted a scarp of rock between Hillycroft and Dawson Hill. It dated from 1850 when the pump for the water supply in this area was found in Morley Hole and called 'Jos. Hirst's pump'. Above the left hand part of this row, with Morley Town Hall tower behind it, is the Sunday School building of the Rehoboth Congregational Chapel. On the closure of the chapel this was converted into four light industrial units. The
Rehoboth Chapel itself was turned into a carpet warehouse but burned down in 1969. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Brunswick Street Morley Hole Jos.
