Description: | March 2008.
This interior view shows the balcony at the sheet metal pressings factory of T.F. & J.H. Braime off Hunslet Road. The balcony runs round one end of the main production areas at the front of the 1911 building. At the bottom left the roof of the current Reception/Security area is visible. Original stained glass decorates the multipaned leaded windows and etched in the glass panel on the door to the right is the word 'women'. This was the entrance to the old women's canteen built in 1917 as part of the war effort. It was the first works canteen to be built in Leeds and the Braime brothers were committed to providing their female workers with a daily hot meal. Princess Mary opened the canteen which even had its own dance floor. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Braime Hunslet Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
