He was a woolen merchant with a shop on Boar Lane, Leeds, West View was built in the same style as the Leeds shop.
It was at a later time used as the local Conservative office and is now a private house.

Apperley Lane Lodge – 1913
Lodge and gateway leading to Cliffe Drive, on Apperley Lane.
Cliffe Drive was one of 3 roads leading into the Cragg Wood laid down by Nathaniel Briggs, the other two being Woodlands and Underwood Drives.
These roads gave access to the many fine houses which were being built in the woods.

The house halfway down Apperley Lane which is named Templars, is where my grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Fell lived with my uncle Clifford Norton Fell.
