A little boy dressed in a Sailor Suit poses for the camera for the firm of clothing manufacturer's John Barran & Sons. The trade in ready-to-wear tailoring for boys was an important part of the business at this time. The Sailor Suit was popular but there was also a demand for fancy dress and these were exported to Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and the Continent. The boy in this image is is Herbert, whose father was a Machine Smith employed by Barran's, name of Arthur Giles. The Giles family are listed on the 1891 Census as living at number 1 Stratford Street in Hunslet. John Barran began his career in Leeds at the age of 22 with a small shop at number 30 Bridge End South. By 1851 he had moved to number 1 Briggate but his recognition of the potential of the new American invention of the sewing machine led him to opening a factory in Alfred Street. The business really took off when he worked with the firm of Greenwood and Batley to produce the band knife for bulk pattern cutting. The rapid expansion of the ready-to-wear business for Barran's in Leeds meant several moves. By the time the new warehouse in Chorley Lane opened in 1904, which adjoined the factory of 1888 in Hanover Lane, 3,000 people were in the employment of John Barran & Sons.https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2008528_166795.jpg2008528_166795Undated.

It was rented in 1919 by Leeds Corporation to provide a home or 'colony' for people with with severe physical or learning disabilities. In 1921 Leeds Corporation bought the whole estate. The number of patients grew from 87 to 841 in 1941. To provide for growing numbers of patients villas were built in the grounds. The hospital is now closed and the site redeveloped for housing.

Denison Hall was designed by William Lindley for John Denison. Formerly John Wilkinson, he changed his name to Denison on inheriting the fortune of his Uncle Robert Denison on his death in 1785. The house was built in 1786 on land purchased for £8500 but John Denison only lived here a short time as on his marriage in 1787 he moved to Ossington Hall. In 1796 it was leased by Sir Richard van Bempe Johnstone. Later, in 1806, Harry Wormald became the owner.

At this time there were 40,000 Leeds people on the dole and 2,600 of those were able to take part in the Community Programme Scheme for a period of one year. Thousands of Leeds pensioners were able to benefit from the scheme as decorating and gardening work was also undertaken on their behalf.

They overlook Armley Moor, an area of common land which once encompassed 125 acres (recorded at the time of the Enclosure Act of 1793). Armley Moor had various ancient ways which eventually became roads like Town Street, Wortley Road to the south and Theaker Lane to the east. The open space of the moor was used by hand weavers as a tenter ground before the Industrial Revolution took place. After the cloth was 'finished' it was stretched out to dry on tenter frames, hence the saying 'being on tenterhooks'. www.leodis.nethttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/edmondson-1881-census-e1512033730694.jpgEdmondson 1881 census1881 Census return, www.ancestry.comhttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/img_9844.jpgIMG_9844https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0956_003.jpgScan_20171129_0956_003https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0956_002.jpgScan_20171129_0956_002https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0956_001.jpgScan_20171129_0956_001https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0955_002.jpgScan_20171129_0955_002https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0955_001.jpgScan_20171129_0955_001Extract from Holmes' copy of the 1793 Act maphttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/scan_20171129_0953_001.jpgScan_20171129_0953_0012023-03-13T12:09:24+00:00monthlyhttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/2017/11/24/briggate/https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/1560.jpg1560https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/chb.pngCHB2023-03-13T12:02:42+00:00monthlyhttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/2018/03/02/tales-from-circus-250-topography-part-1/https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2003108_35369509-section.jpgcircus featured imagehttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/beneath-the-big-top.jpgbeneath the big tophttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ryan-playbill-3.jpgRyan playbill 3https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ryan-playbill-2.jpgRyan playbill 2https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ryan-playbill-1.jpgRyan playbill 1Three playbills, all showing Ryan's Royal Equestrian Circus during its performance in Basinghall Streethttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fossett-playbill.jpgFossett playbillPlaybill for Fossett's Grand Circus.

This row of shops was part of The Shambles which ran along Briggate from what would now be the junction with King Edward Street upto the entrance the County Arcade. The word Shamble comes from Seamol which was a bench where meat was displayed and sold. The Moot Hall and Middle Row behind were considered an obstruction to the throughfare of one of the city's busiest streets therefore after hundreds of years of existence, Middle Row was removed in 1825 moving to the newly opened Bazaar and Shambles between Briggate and Vicar Lane.

Built in 1865-67, and designed by Leeds architect William Hill, it was opened on 6 June 1867 by Sir Andrew Fairbairn. In 1900 it was proposed that the roads in this area be improved, a new dispensary was built a little lower down on North Street, at the junction with Hartley Hill, which opened in 1904. The right wing of the old building was demolished. The premises were used by various companies, then by 1913 it had been opened as a tuberculosis clinic. It is now a chest clinic and the building is listed. The very earliest Dispensary opened on 24th October in 1824 in the House of Recovery on Vicar Lane. This building dated from 1802/1804.https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2002812_91505069.jpg2002812_91505069https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1241.jpg124120th October 1941. View of Woodland Park Road, foreground, at the junction with Grove Lane. The house occupying the corner plot, which has a hedge and fencing, is number 46 Grove Lane. The substantial, turreted terraced homes in the background are also in Grove Lane and begin on the left with number 43, following an odd numbered sequence. At the other side they are numbered in an evens sequence as Back Oakfield Terrace. The houses were built by the Oakfield Terrace Building Club. An advert appeared in the Leeds Mercury on 23rd May 1874 stating: 'Richardson and Watson are forming a Club for the Erection of Terrace Houses, with eight rooms each and large gardens at Headingley, to be called Oakfield Terrace. The position is the best in the district, having a southerly aspect, and within five minutes walk of the tram. For full particulars apply at the offices, 13 Park Row.' They were designed by William Hill and construction was begun in late 1874. Grove Lane was not laid out until 1921 and until then there was a carriage-road with a turning circle to service the houses.https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2009123_168274.jpg2009123_168274https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/200278_21223086.jpg200278_212230862020-01-10T11:42:36+00:00monthlyhttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/2020/01/03/leeds-zoological-and-botanical-gardens-brief-history/https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-of-bear-pit.jpgimage of bear pitFig. 4.

The first Leeds tram on its way back to Leeds on its trial run to test the efficacy of the track on July 2nd (Sunday) prior to the official opening on July 5th 1911 (Wednesday). For some distance the Transport Manager Mr. J. B. Hamilton drove this test car. Everything was found to be satisfactory by the Board of Trade inspector. Due to the large number of steep hills between the viaduct at Churwell and Tingley Mills only certain models of trams, mostly Dick Kerrs, were allowed to come to Morley and most of these had numbers between 237 and 260 in the first years of running. This felt tip and biro picture by Eric Farr is based on a photograph of the tram in Morley Bottoms.

Painting by Yorkshire artist, Pete Lapish, showing a view of Boar Lane. The artist intended to capture the atmosphere of dense, choking 'smog', typical at that time, which was created by the cold, fog and smoke pollution. To achieve this he has used a semi-pointilistic technique in his painting. Some images by Pete Lapish are available to purchase as postcards or greetings cards from Leeds Visitor Centre - see our 'useful links' page.https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sultan.jpgsultan2016-08-04T14:13:49+00:00monthlyhttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/2016/06/10/pottering-about-thinking/https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cyclingco1.jpgcyclingCohttps://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/mexbro-arms.jpgmexbro-arms6th January 1925.

It was to close later in the 1920s when a new Mexborough Arms (now called The Three Hulats) was built to the side of it.https://secretlibraryleeds.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/grand-restaurant.jpggrand-restaurantView of Boar Lane by night from a postcard with postdate 23 February 1904.
