View of grade 2 listed cottages and stable buildings located at Kirkstall Forge, north-west of the east gateway. The cottages are built in coursed, square gritstone and date from the late 18th century. At ground floor level both of the original doorways have been converted to windows. The upper floor of the two cottages have lat-faced mullion windows with 3 lights. The cottages were thought to have been built by the Butler and Beecroft families after they acquired Kirkstall Forge in 1779, when many other alterations and additions were carried out. More recently the buildings were in use as the works canteen or 'Directors' Dining Room'. The former stables, seen to the left, date from the same period and were converted to garages in later years. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | listed Beecroft Kirkstall Forge Butler | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
