Description: | Early 1900's
Tinted postcard showing Woodhouse Moor, which for many years has been an area of recreation for the people of Leeds. Originally common land, the Leeds Corporation purchased the rights of the Lords of the Manor in 1855 at the cost of ?3,000. In the background, the drinking fountain which was presented by Alderman William North in 1879 is visible. It is surrounded by shrubbery and seating and stands near the site of old houses and gardens known as the "Dog Kennels". The bandstand, seen, was also the gift of Alderman North. In the foreground is one of the ornamental arches from which are suspended, glass lamps and there are newly planted trees along the side of the footpath. This postcard is postmarked 20th July 1906. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Corporation Woodhouse Moor William North | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
