15. Moortown in the 1930s
a stone built house on Harrogate Road with a slate roof and ornate gables. This is believed to be the main lodge entrance to The Mount but any further information is welcomed. A sign for Geo. W. Airey, building contractor, can be seen on the right but we can find no record in trade directories of him operating his business from Harrogate Road so it may be that he was just contracted to do some work there.
