Woodhouse Lane, Leeds: A Vintage Lantern Slide Image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, Mary Evans Prints Online Step back in time with this vintage lantern slide image of Woodhouse Lane in Leeds, as it appeared in the late 19th or early 20th century. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, and this particular slide is no exception. The image shows a bustling street scene, with Woodhouse Lane stretching out before us, lined with tall, imposing buildings and a sea of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians. The cobblestone road is slick with rain, reflecting the gas lamps that line the street, casting an orange glow over the scene. In the distance, the spire of a church or cathedral can be seen, adding a sense of grandeur and history to the image. The lantern slide, a relic of a bygone era, invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bustling urban scene. The horses, harnessed to the carriages, snort and paw at the ground, while the pedestrians, bundled up against the rain, hurry along the street, their umbrellas held high. The gas lamps flicker in the damp air, casting long, dancing shadows on the wet pavement. This beautiful vintage image offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses and carriages ruled the streets and the world moved at a slower pace. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, with its wealth of historical images, is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of Leeds or the broader history of urban life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular image of Woodhouse Lane is a must-see for anyone seeking to explore the rich history of this fascinating city.
