Headingley Orphan Home in Leeds
« on: Friday 30 January 09 16:51 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for a photograph of the Headingley orphan Home where my father resided from 1913-1919. It closed in 1959.

Have you tried the Leodis website?  They have a lot of old photographs etc of Leeds, and other areas of the West Riding.  Just google Leodis as I don't the address to hand!

Yes, I saw the 2 back views. I'm hoping for something much better! Thank you both.
