Description: | Early 20th Century.
View from the west showing Eller Close, a large stone built house in possession of the Kitchin family at this time. A man is seated on the lawn, wearing a straw boater, and a woman sits near the creeper-covered entrance. There is a book propped on a cushion in the foreground that, when magnified, the title reads 'My Four Years in Germany'. The author is James W. Gerard and it was published in 1917. There is a cane chair and a small table in the foreground also. The Kitchin's owned the Cliff Tannery in Meanwood Road. It was built by Edward Kitchin in 1866 and his son Matthew continued the business until his retirement to Scarborough. It was Matthew who bought Eller Close between 1881 and 1891. One of his two sons, Laurence, lived here until 1931 when he was forced to sell the house due to ill health. Eller Close is situated at number 50 North Lane and is now divided into 6 flats. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Eller Close North Lane Cliff Tannery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
