View of Greenwood Row in the old Crimbles area of Pudsey, dating from the early nineteenth century. Greenwood Row is an example of through, double-fronted clothiers' houses. The weavers and their families used the ground floor as sleeping and living accommodation and the upper floor of each cottage was equipped as a workshop housing the looms. Greenwood Row was built by joiner, Edward Greenwood who, as a result of the Enclosure Act, had acquired a small enclosure allotment on Crimbles Green. He built the houses to make a profit on the sale or rental. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Greenwood Row weaver Crimbles Crimbles Green | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
