salt 'n pepper wrote: Hunslet Road. Low Road to be more accurate. Just about the only thing that's left of the old buildings along that side of the road in that particular location. More's the pity. Probably something to do with Keith Waterhouse. Or Willis Hall. Or both. And 'buildings' includes Hunslet Nelson Cricket Club which was 1> adjacent to this site, and 2> more open space than bricks and mortar.How many tons of earth it took to fill up that whole in the ground is anybody's guess.

Probably something to do with Keith Waterhouse. Or Willis Hall. Or both. Correct.Keith Waterhouse was born and lived his early years at No17 Low Road "..next to the receiving office for Beeston Laundry and two doors from Hunslet Baptist Tabernacle.."It's windows used to bear the legend "Ancient Lights" that Waterhouse & others thought was reference to some religious event. It was a device to claim a 'right to light' so if someone popped a factory right next to you they'd need to compensate your right to light.
