View of the former Local Board offices on Queen Street. Originally built at a cost of ?700 in about 1866, they were altered in 1880 when a gale damaged tower was removed, and other buildings were built around them. Following elections to the first Borough Council in 1886, these offices had significance as the place of early council meetings, and were even referred to as the new Morley Town Hall in 1895. After this, these offices became redundant to the council and were solicitors offices for a while before being occupied by Lloyd's Bank from 1902 to about 1911. Later they became the Education Offices of Morley Borough Council, which they remained until 1974 when Leeds City Council took over responsibility for education. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Education Office Local Board Office Queen Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
