View of Huggan Row in the Crimbles area of Pudsey. This short row of stone terraced homes is typical of early housing in Pudsey, particularly in the Crimbles area. Crimbles Green was common land until the Enclosure Act in the early nineteenth century. This led to the land being divided into small plots which were only suitable for building on. Huggan Row is named after the Huggan family, possibly by William Huggan, born in 1802 who lived in the Crimbles area. The 1851 census records him with his wife, Esther and children, William, Thomas and Esther. His occupation is listed as a clothing manufacturer with 73 men and 55 women in his employ. In 1871 one of the houses in Huggan Row was occupied by cloth manufacturer Thomas Huggan, son of William, and his wife, Hannah and two young children. Next door was his older brother, William Huggan, also a cloth manufacturer, with his wife Jane Ann and their four children. Nearby, in Crimble Road, was the Grocer's shop of John Huggan (also a farmer of 22 acres). He lived with his wife Sarah and five children. In 1871 his eldest daughter, Rhoda (16) was assisting him in the shop. William Huggan (born 1802) was an overseer of the poor and became a Leeds Councillor for the Bramley Ward. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Huggan Row Crimbles | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
