31. Woodhouse in 1960
On the left is number 5 Willow Grove Road, then the large building is number 7, Willow Grove Hall. This was used as a dance academy by John Taylor, professor of dancing, from around 1866 onwards, though it was renumbered during this time, presumably as other houses were built around it; it was originally no. 1 Willow Grove Road, then no. 3, before becoming no. 7. Between 1906 - 1927 Cecil H. Taylor was teaching there; by 1932 the Taylors are no longer listed there but a Miss Cecily Taylor was teaching dance at an address on Central Road. | West Yorkshire Archive Service Photo: West Yorkshire Archive Service
