Description: | 10th August 1950. View shows the interior of number 15 Brown's Place, off Church Street, showing flood damage. A wall cavity reveals a store room with an oil stove, a mangle and a bird cage. Through the doorway can be seen a child's metal toy car.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 flood damage | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=76... | Go to resource |
