Crockery used at the Friends School, Low Green, Rawdon, which closed in 1924. The large jug came from the Mission and Adult Friends School known as the Great Wilson Street Schools, Leeds, which were built in 1887.
In 1946, the site was sold to Leeds City Council and by 1967, all the old properties were demolished.
The Headquarters of the ASDA Company, ASDA House, is now on the site (December 2012).
