Knottfield House
Knottfield House once stood here. Building commenced on Knottfield House in early 1846, John Dawson of Kirkstall Brewery originally lived there, it became the Mitchell Memorial Home after WW1 for ex-servicemen suffering from Tuberculosis. When the need for this facility waned it was taken over by the West Riding County Council as a home for boys, the house was demolished in 1959. Rawdon Crematorium is now on the site (July 2015), all that remains of Knottfield House is a flight of steps.
