Description: | 2010.
This photo taken in summer 2010 shows a Leeds Civic Trust Blue Plaque dedicated to Joshua Tetley, situated on the gate post of the Carlsberg-Tetley Brewery at the corner of Hunslet Road and Waterloo Street. The plaque reads 'Joshua Tetley (1778-1859). In 1822 Joshua Tetley bought William Sykes' brewery business which has stood here since 1792. Joshua's enterprise and fine quality ales created a reputation which for over 150 years has made the name 'Tetleys' synonymous with the City of Leeds. Sadly the Leeds connection with Tetley's is no more, following the closure of the Hunslet Road brewery by Tetley's parent company Carlsberg on 17th June 2011. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Blue Plaque Leeds Civic Trust Carlsberg-Tetley Brewery Joshua Tetley Tetley's Brewery Hunslet Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
