Fleece Cottages
« on: Monday 10 October 22 20:36 BST (UK) »
hello Everyone

is there anyone who could tell where Fleece Cottages are or were in Leeds in the late 1800s early 1900s I am researching my family ancestors and would like to know where they lived.

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

I wonder if this refers to the same www.leodis.net/ViewImage/ByIndicator/2002513_84997195  Can be a little slow to load.

Added: Easier to view on here https://longley.online/2018/02/joseph-longley-bedsteads/

There are also a number of refences to Fleece Cottages being specifically on Meadow Lane.

Newspaper mentions of "Fleece Cottages, Fleece Lane, Meadow Lane" or "Fleece Cottages, off Gt Wilson Street" or "Fleece Cottages, Victoria Road" etc

If you check the 1st map above it shows Back Row meeting Victoria Road where you cross through an alley (marked "F.W") to Fleece Cottages.
The map below shows Back Road meeting Victoria Road. If you position the cursor on the old map where Fleece Cottages were (not marked on this map) the right hand map will show what has replaced them.
