Description: | 3rd May 1912.
At the time of this photograph this area was known locally as Lushpot. The Windmill (which still stands) was on the top of Windmill Hill, now called Lotherton Lane after the construction of the Aberford-by-pass in 1961. The mill dates from at least the 15th Century, in 1458 it was the property of the Abbot of Kirkstall. The ironwork was removed for salvage in World War II and the top 6 feet were taken down after a fire caused by vandals made it unsafe. The houses visible are now demolished, they didn't have a piped drinking water supply and were dependent on a well even as late as the 1940s. This was demolished in the 1980s. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Lane Windmill Hill Windmill | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
