View of Garforth Old Hall situated on Selby Road opposite the Gaping Goose Inn. Believed to have been built in the 15th century for the Lord of the Manor, it was once the centre of West Garforth but it is thought that people moved away from this area following an outbreak of plague. Other occupants of the Hall have included Joshua Watson in the 1930s and later Mr. Hand who kept pedigree poultry. It was lived in until 1958 after which it was demolished as part of a plan to build a dual carriageway from the Austhorpe Ring Road to the A1 at the Boot & Shoe - this never materialised. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Garforth Old Hall Selby Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
