Description: | c1953.
View of Woodhouse lane looking towards Leeds University in this watercolour painting by Leeds artist, Pete Lapish. A Lance Corporal tram ascends the hill on its way to Lawnswood, and is shortly to pass by the white Portland stone Parkinson building of the university, seen in the background. Building began on the Parkinson building in 1938 but it was not fully completed for use by the university until 1951. It is likely that the destination of the green Leeds Corporation bus would have been Cookridge.
