It appears the recreation ground was sold in 1900. Taken from The Leeds Mercury 10th Nov 1900

The white horse ground is a good shout Leo.Thanks to Uncle Mick again.Interesting dragging Micks maps about there's an 1875 enclosed Football/Rugby ground by the side of the Railway Viaduct in Domestic Street!!...Also the old Low Road ground. Hunslet AFC played there for a time. It's tough matching the old clubs to the old grounds, would need hours in the library.Sounds good though!!

I have tried dragging the maps but can't locate the ground in Domestic Street. Is it where the Lemi was? (There was a thread about the Lemi a while ago, as I recall) My parents had a shop on Geldard Road and we used to play football on the Lemi and walk across it on the way to school.
