Peter Cassidy originated in Hull in 1921; their Leeds business opened in 1961. They make and test lifting equipment. Of perhaps greater interest is the street to the left, Low Hall Place; a Leeds City Council document on the Holbeck Conservation Area says that this setted street that now leads into a private yard is the remains of a pre-1600 route and therefore one of the oldest roads in the city. The Hol Beck flows in a culvert under the gates of Cassidy's yard and the street in front.
