  • Carlton Hill LM
    Friends Meeting House, Carlton Hill 188 Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9DX National Grid Reference: SE 29419 34965 Statement of Significance A modest meeting house built in 1987 that provides interconnecting spaces which create flexible, spacious and well-planned rooms which can be used by both the Quakers and community groups. The meeting house has low architectural interest and low heritage value. Evidential value The current meeting house is a modern building with low evidential value. However, it was built on the site of an earlier building dating from the nineteenth century, and following this a tram shed. The site has medium evidential value for the potential to derive information relating to the evolution of the site. Historical value The meeting house has low historical significance as a relatively recent building, however, Woodhouse Lane provides a local context for the history of Quakers in the area from 1868. Aesthetic value This modern building has medium aesthetic value and makes a neutral contribution to the street scene. Communal value The meeting house was built for Quaker use and is also a valued community resource. The building is used by a number of local groups and visitors. Overall the building has high communal value.
