Early image showing the stone built Holbeck Cemetery Lodge in Fairfax Road. The couple in the garden are the Registrar and Superintendent of the Cemetery, William Holland and his wife Ellen, nee Turner. They were married in Leeds in 1866 at the Brunswick Chapel on Brunswick Street although Mr. Holland was born in Leyland in Lancashire. Directories of Leeds and Census records show that the Hollands were living here at least from 1881 to 1891. Holbeck Municipal Cemetery was formed in 1857 at a cost of ?7,000 including the two chapels. It was in two parts, consecrated and unconsecrated. William Holland was registrar of the unconsecrated portion. Mrs. Holland, in her garden chair, wears a striped gown of the Victorian era and holds a parasol. Mr. Holland wears a waistcoat and watch and chain. The Lodge still remains today and is now a private dwelling. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lodge Holbeck Cemetery Fairfax Road Holland | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
