View shows part of Lantern Lane near Armley Golf Course. It was part of an old right of way which ran from Brown's Field of Pasture's Farm to Redcote. From the early 19th Century many people with homes in Armley walked to their employment in the mills of Burley via Lantern Lane. It got its name as it was very often dark on the winter mornings and evenings and the workers had to carry lanterns to light their way. It was known locally as as o't Lantern Hoil. It was necessary to cross the River Aire by way of 'Halfpenny Bridge' as it was called by local people. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lantern Lane Halfpenny Bridge | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
