Description: | 10th August 1950. View shows the interior of number 15 Brown's Place, off Church Street, showing flood damage. The wall of the store room is damaged and a white glazed sink is under the window. An "Ascot" gas heater is visible. 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 |
