| Summary: | 20th October 1936 View of footbridge over Meanwood Beck. The grounds of the Hollies join those of Meanwoodside. They were presented to the City of Leeds by George Brown, in memory of his son, Major Harold Brown, fallen in the First World War. The waterfalls and landscape work to Meanwoodside were carried out by Edward Oates, grandfather of polar explorer Lawrence Oates. Captain Lawrence Oates died in 1912 on Captain Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition to the Antarctic. He walked out into the snow in a valiant but futile attempt to help the rest of the party conserve their resources, as all died. |
