Does anyone know where Jackman's buildings were?

Hi all,Looking for Jackman's Buildings. This is the abode that was entered on my gt grandfathers baptism and of his siblings.He was baptised in dec 1873 at Woodhouse, St Mark. His father was a cloth dresser.I found a photo at Leodis of Jackman Yard in Woodhouse and wonder if it's one and the same place?

I would think they will possibly be one and the same same place.These yards,also known as "courts", were quite common in Woodhouse,Midgley Court (Midgeley being a surname that appears to havea strong Woodhouse connection from the late 18th century) etc,and were,it appears,usually named after a family group that had lived.or lived in the place for many generations.I have some Pickard ancestors who came to Leeds,and specifically Woodhouse Carr in the 1730's,the 1890 map on Leeds Tith maps shows a Pickard Street on the area of Woodhouse Carr,so the Jackman buildings/Yard have probably being named as such.Hopefully the attached picture of the Leeds Tithemap shows hilighted in yellow,where Jackmans Buildings/yard was situated. I cant find definite proof but given the location description and the possible layout of the yard from the Leodis picture then it may well be.It was also in place in the 1910 map,so its a strong contender

Thank you so much Cnosni for your reply. I searched Leodis for more photos including 'Jackman' as a search criteria.Two photos caught my attention, on a photo named Jackman Courtit shows a very delapidated old house. This house appears in the background of the original photo I mentioned, named Jackman Yard....so it seems Jackman Yard and Court are one and the same. http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... er=8632And then, looking at the photos of Great Woodhouse Hall, I found another photo named Randerson Court....which seems to be the same place again...?http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... 810488What do you think?

Correction, taking a better look they don't seem to be the same, but very similar. Also one says it's the north view, the other south view, so they must be different sides of the yard/court...the pattern of the buildings fits with the map you attached.I imagine the names changed depending on who was leasing the buildings/yard at the time...?Thank -you so much for your help, Gillian

That timber frame house is much much earlier than the 19th century,just look at the other buildings around it,they are stone built 18th/19th century on a much larger scale.Why would they bother to build a timber house when there is plentiful and cheap supplies of locally quarried stone to build a far more substantial building.Id go with at least a late Stewart/17th century building at least which has gradually had out buildings added to over the years with more substantial stone buildings as the quarries at Woodhouse were being hewed.I notice that teh same desription is also applied to 3 other pictures attributed at being Great Woodhouse Hall,and some of them give a date of 1720 when the house is clearly late 18th century at the oldest.
