Description: | 10th August 1950. View shows the exterior of number 15 Brown's Place, off Church Street, showing flood damage. A gas cooker is in the garden and a copper or wash boiler is under the window. A peggy tub is behind a small bush and a carpet is spread on the wall. The flood was caused by an open stream which ran from Beckett's Park to the top of Station Parade to overflow. The volume of water was such that instead of channelling into the culvert below Station Parade the stream burst its banks. The houses on Brown's Place were at a lower level and were flooded before the water drained into the River Aire. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Brown's Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=76... | Go to resource |
