16 Peel Place
In 1856, premises for the Primitive Methodists were obtained in Peel Place, which were used until 1890 when a new chapel was built in Victoria Road. The former building then became the Co-op for over 70 years and today it is used for a joinery business.
When the two Methodist societies merged in 1967 the Victoria Road building was purchased by the West Riding County Council who adapted it for use as a youth club.
Also in Peel Place, William Watson was born in 1858. He was a poet of some distinction and a plaque of remembrance to him can be seen outside of the Queens Hall.
Victoria Hall or Drill Hall as it was also known, was used for training volunteer soldiers before World War I. It was also used as a cinema, but it was demolished in the early 1960's. The scout hut is now on the same site.
