Description: | 1981.
Image shows a Print Works addressed as numbers 87, 89 and 91 Lowtown. It is an old stone building dating from 1854 and situated at the corner of Kent Road, left, formerly Crimbles Road. This was a grocery shop in the 19th century run by Emanuel Mortimer. On the census of 1861 he is recorded as a grocer here when he was 31 years old. At that time he was unmarried and his nephew, James Booth was also residing at the same address, and serving an apprenticeship with his uncle. When Emanuel Mortimer purchased a second shop at number 22 Lowtown, in 1867 he installed James Booth as shop manager. The new shop was situated on the corner with Hammerton Fold, now known as Booth's Yard. Emanuel Mortimer married Sarah Hannah Roberts at St. Peter's Church, Bramley, in 1878. By the census of 1881 they had 2 small sons; Louis Gaithwait (aged 3) and Edwin Augustus (aged 1). The building shown here had originally been two shops and a loading door can be seen at first floor level. The shop is now demolished. Behind the high stone wall is the old Sunday School Hall belonging to Pudsey Parish Church.
