Description: | August 1961. The view from the old quarry face off Albert Road in August 1961 of the route into Morley Bottoms. The Perseverance Mill is in the bottom right hand corner, quite a lot of it having had to be rebuilt after a serious fire during the First World War in 1915. More than any other mill in Morley it made use of the natural contours of the land and since it has been demolished, towards the end of the 1990s, large gaps have appeared in the valley side by Chapel Hill, down to Station Road. The old row on the left on Albert Road is the Rock Inn, so called from its situation next to the town's old quarry (and pinfold) next to the start of the Low Common. Two other mills can be seen on the photograph. They are Victoria Mill with its tall building and mill chimney on the left, and Prospect Mill with its chimney just behind the Perseverance and tall 1934 building at the top right.
