The Mission

Whilst browsing the Leeds tithe maps website earlier looking at the Grey Walk area in connection with an earlier post, I started comparing the maps with Google earth. As I looked around the riverside I noticed that at the back of the Calls down Riverside Court there stands what looks to be an old white building. I looked at the 1890 and 1910 maps and found there used to be a mission building there. I wonder if this little white building is the mission and if so why was it left standing ? I would have thought that all those appartments would not want a shabby looking old mission spoiling the view. Regards.

IIRC it's been tidied up, is behind private gates and might be offices.

On a separate note there's an old mill goit down the back there.

This is the street view of the mission, it still looks a bit tatty to me !Regards.
