Description: | 12th May 1950. View looking across Lower Town Street to Stocks Hill, which runs behind the iron railings. In the centre, a large Georgian house, with later extension to the left, has been divided into individual homes which number, from left to right, 149 to 155. The stone built house has three storeys with stone mullions to the windows and an ornate door surround. A gas lamp stands in front of the house, and a young girl and white dog are in front of the pedimented doorway of number 155. Beyond the house to the right there is a gap where a pair of cottages once stood (demolished in 1936 for road improvements and the occupants rehoused), and then the Old Unicorn Inn, with new extended stone front entrance. The stone building to the far left is a branch of the Leeds Permanent Building Society at number 147 Lower Town Street. In the foreground is a semi-cobbled street and pavement with a substantial stone wall rising to the right. This wall is grade 2 listed and has two recesses which housed the town wells. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | shop public house Stocks Hill house Lower Town Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=87... | Go to resource |
