Situated at the junction of Branch Road and Stanningley Road. Tramway Waiting Room, brick, single storey, shop to right, sign in window points left. 'Ladies Waiting Room and Parcels'. Lamppost on the left has a recruiting poster for the Leeds Pals. The ornate brick building is the Spiritual Mission. Advertising to the right for OXO, HP Sauce and BDV cigarettes 10 for 3d (1 1/4pence) A number of people can be seen, tramlines in road. Lamb Hill goes down to the left of the lamp.

4th June 1915 Tramway waiting room and stop, situated on Armley Road, bottom of Stocks Hill. The front, facing road, had a parcels office and ladies waiting room. The ground floor had mens toilets. A sign advertises 'Warehouse and Yard to let, apply Rodger and Barraclough estate agents, 42 Leeds Bridge'.

Lamb Hill, 1906. Obviously before Sammy Ledgard's depot was built, but I'm guessing the brewery and malthouses were his. The marked P.H. is the Nelson Inn/Hotel. Blakey will know for sure!

In the next day or two I'll ask my historian friend to clarify this Si, but I'm pretty sure that the "Armley Brewery" on this 1906 map is not Samuel's brewing and bottling place, although the malthouses on the opposite side of Armley Road (about where the multistorey flats now stand) were his and were connected underground to the cellar of the Nelson. This is quite a complex development period but will do my best to "nail it."
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

hotlypursued wrote: Regarding Pitfall Street - the Leeds Parish Church Burial Registers of 1566-68 features a Sibell Hodgson (daughter of Thomas) of "the Pittfall". Sounds like a property - like an inn - rather than a street. Anyone got further info on this? Hi Hotlypursued.Until I re-read the date, I thought it might indicate a block of back-to-back streets called Pittfall Street, Avenue, Terrace, etc, collectively known as the Pittfalls. Not many back-to-backs in the 1560s, I guess...

On a slight tangent, spotted this sign for Hollis Place in Burley, Leeds 3. It's a recycled sign for Seaforth Terrace in Leeds 9. I assumed Seaforth Terrace must have been buldozed but it's still there. Why?
