The north end of the refectory at Kirkstall Abbey showing a large pile of debris from the collapse of he buildings and large elm trees growing close to the walls. Two people in Victorian dress can be seen on the right. Large elm trees are growing in the debris inside the building. The photograph must have been taken, therefore, before 1892-6.
