Description: | c1902.
This old stone terraced row of houses along Brunswick Street, directly opposite Morley Hole, was typical of the dwellings erected in Morley between 1800 and 1850. It was called Jos. Hirst's Row presumably after the person who had them built, and the water supply for the area came from Jos. Hirst's pump which was across the road by Morley Hole. Behind Jos. Hirst's Row was a 20 foot rock face and the back of the houses was built right up to this so that there were no openings at all for light or air at the rear of the houses. The buildings remained in existence to just after 1960, but the shop for Sykes, grocer and provision merchant, disappeared a long time before the housing. This picture is taken from a postcard first produced about 1902.
