Clarkson's Yard in Leeds

View of Clarkson's Yard in 1901. This narrow yard had a split-level paved surface full of pot-holes. The outside toilet can be seen at the end of the yard. A handcart and ladders can be seen behind a boy who is bare-footed. Clarkson's Yard was listed for demolition under the 1901 Unhealthy Areas plan.
