17 Station Road
Over the years this area of Burley has not changed much. The drinking fountain, which was donated to the village in 1885 by Francis Arnold-Forster, can still be seen today. It was given at the same time as the Burley Local Board of Health was providing a more extensive supply of clean water.
There was also a grocery shop on the corner, which was owned by Samuel Smith. In 1903 the old grocery shop was altered into a more modern version. These alterations consisted of large new windows with wrought iron tracery, which are still present today. In 1919 a Victory Celebration Arch was built at the bottom of Station Road to celebrate the end of the First World War.
Leeds Corporation trolley buses had a turning point at the bottom of Station Road and Main Street (pictured below) between 1915 and 1928.
