Wintry scene showing Kirkstall Lane under a covering of snow, taken sometime around the early part of the 20th century. The view is towards Queenswood Drive at the junction with St. Ann's Lane. Three children and a dog can be seen in the foreground. Trees line both sides of the road. At the left edge is a single storey stone-built lodge, nowadays numbered as 214a Kirkstall Lane and standing at the entrance to Laurel Bank Surgery. It was originally the lodge to St. Ann's Tower, a large residential property set back from the road in its own grounds, now numbered as 214 Kirkstall Lane. St. Ann's Tower was the one time residence of Colonel Thomas Richards Harding and his family. Colonel Harding was a very well known manufacturer in Leeds in the 19th century. He set up his business in 1829, making cast-steel pins for cards, gills and combs for use in the textile industry. In the early 1860s his famous factory was established on a five acre site in Holbeck. It is notable for its italianate campaniles and in its hey-day could boast of being the largest factory in the world to manufacture this type of product. Recently, (2011/2012) the Tower Works site has been redeveloped with the red brick listed towers refurbished and incorporated into a new landscaped complex of office accommodation. The 1891 census records Colonel Harding, who was retired by this time and aged 79, as still living at St. Ann's Tower with his unmarried daughter, Sarah J. Harding and their domestic servants. In 1891 the lodge to St. Ann's Tower is listed as being occupied by coachman and domestic servant, John Mouncey and his wife and three daughters. Nowadays St. Ann's Tower is converted to apartments with communal gardens and a gated entrance.
