This leafy path is well known to locals as Lantern Lane as it is an ancient route used from the early 19th Century by generations of millworkers. They would leave their homes in Armley to walk to the mills of Burley on dark mornings, carrying lanterns. At the end of the day they would make the journey home and on winter evenings it would be dark once more. The route became known locally as o't Lantern Hoil, and involved crossing the River Aire by way of 'Halfpenny Bridge'. | 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 |
