I dont think you can see it from this view but on the sides of these iron benches is a date of 186x

The Leeds Tithe map project site shows the various plots that made up the Privilege ground.it was owned by the church from the looks of it.
On looking further,I find it was the old Armley Moor which was a privilege ground for putting up tenters for cloth manufacture.These must have been part of it and left over after it was finally built on.
Fascinating bit of history.
