Description: | 10th August 1950. View shows the interior of number 15 Brown's Place, off Church Street, showing flood damage. A half wood pannelled wall with art-deco style borders on the wall paper. A damaged sofa is propped up on bricks. A dining table is on the right with assorted crockery and two cans, one of which is "Pickerings" peas. A water line can be seen 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 |
