Description: | Early 20th Century.
View of the paddock adjoining Eller Close, the substantial stone-built detached property on the left. Two women and a small boy are watching the horse and foal, and cattle. The two women are leaning on the iron fence. When Eller Close was sold in 1931 it had been in the Kitchin family (owners of Cliff Tannery in Meanwood Road) for many years. In the sale particulars it was described as an 'extremely beautiful residential estate' and included a lodge and cottage, outbuildings, gardens and land extending to over 11 acres. Also sold as part of the estate was a 'small plot of well placed building land in Foxglove Avenue.' Laurence Kitchin had been forced to sell Eller Close due to serious ill health. It had been bought by his father, Matthew, between 1881 and 1891. Nowadays the house, located at number 50 North Lane is divided into 6 flats. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Eller Close North Lane Foxglove Avenue Cliff Tannery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
