Description: | January 1967.
The building with light blue doors in the centre of this image is Hopewell Farm. This has given its name to all the area of land between Fountain Street (behind the housing in the background), Britannia Road (off to the left), High Street (behind the photographer) and Chartists Way (off to the right) which was used to build quite a large housing estate in this area. The photograph was taken from a quarry spoil heap just behind the houses on High Street. The buildings behind Hopewell Farm can be indentified as follows: the mill chimney in the centre is Parkfield Mills; the stone building with slate roof to the chimney's right is Morley High School; the large brick building on the right hand side is W.B. Stockwell's Alexandra Mills. This is on Baker Street and at the end of the next four rows Baker Street comes up against the land of Hopewell Farm; finally on the extreme left of the photograph another street off Fountain Street comes to an end against the land of Hopewell Farm. This is Watson Street.
