Haiste Yard Hunslet - where was it?

[pineapple88]

Hi all

I wondered if anybody with any knowledge of this area or has old maps would be able to pinpoint this place for me.  I have relatives who lived there during about 1850-1890 the Pullans. I cannot seem to work out where it is though.
Thanks for anyhelp

I have the 1890 Ordnance Survey Map of Leeds here.
Before I start looking do you know Leeds/Hunslet area at all?
[Map is on disc so hope the area is indexed.]

Hi Brian, thanks for your message.  I know something of the area but not an indepth knowledge but could get my bearings on some things there.  Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

In Hunslet they built what they called 'The District Centre' on Church Street.
(St Mary's church being opposite)
The main road out of Leeds being Hunslet Road changes to Low Road @half mile before getting to signpost directing to District Centre.
Haiste Yard was at this T junction of Low Road/Church Street.
As you would imagine the area has been completely bulldozed flat prior to redevelopment.

To give you a flavour of the area have a look on Leodis website, entering Hunslet into search.

Wow thank you so much Brian - I have tried so hard to get a photo of the area at that time so I may have to revert to finding a photo of it nowadays. I am going to try and look on some maps now. Thank you so much for your help. Best regards

Hi Brian can I just ask is the low road / church street junction the point where there used to be Wellington Hotel? Thanks so.
