Leeds Mercury Saturday 27th January 1906.
One the old stone houses on the Woodhouse Moor Reservoir at
the Grammar School side has been adapted for astronomical use and a large
18-inch reflector telescope has been placed in position there. This telescope
is the gift of Major Duncombe, and is fitted with the customary mounting,
range-finding, and clockwork appliances. In an adjoining room a transit
instrument has been mounted, and this, like the telescope, is now almost
completely adjusted for use. The dome of aluminium is moveable, and apertures
may be opened to suit the convenience of the astronomer.
