Description: | November 2009.
View of double-fronted, stone-built cottages, originally built for weavers by Edward Greenwood and called Greenwood Row. In the early nineteenth century Edward Greenwood was a joiner who had acquired a piece of land on Crimbles Green as a result of the Enclosures Act. He built these properties to sell or rent to local clothiers. The upper storey of each property was used as a workroom. The looms would have been positioned in front of the windows for maximum daylight. The family's sleeping and living accommodation would have been downstairs. The cottages have a small, walled front garden. This is the Crimbles area of Pudsey. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Greenwood Row weaver Crimbles | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
