| Green (The) from a watercolour painting by Fred Swaine (Calverley) |
| Undated
Fred Swaine, a local weaver and amateur artist, painted this watercolour of The Green. The area was known by this name from about 1870. At the time of this watercolour most of the cottages on The Green were run down and lacked sanitation. It was many years later, the early 1930s, when the last of the cottages were demolished and the Town Wells Gardens were planned and developed.
