SE2634 : Detail of Celtic cross in Gotts Park
taken 9 years ago, 3 km from Headingley, Leeds, England
Detail of Celtic cross in Gotts Park
The inscription reads "These almshouses were erected by Benjamin Gott of Armley House AD 1823 and endowed by his daughter Harriet Gott". For context see SE2634 : Celtic cross and flower beds, Gotts Park. I am unsure whether the buildings in the background of SE2634 : Commemoration Stone - Gotts Park are the almshouses referred to.
Armley Park / Gotts Park, Leeds :: SE2733
A large open area among the otherwise densely built up area to the west of Armley, on the top of the scarp slope of Airedale. The western end is shown as Gotts (or Gott's) Park on maps, and the more formal gardens at the eastern end as Armley Park, but these names seem to be used interchangeably in local usage.
Between them is a golf course, formerly run by Leeds City Council but now a private operation, which uses the grade 2 listed Mansion as its clubhouse. In the middle is Redcote Lane that runs down to the River Aire and Leeds-Liverpool Canal.
