Description: | 2nd June 1939.
Image shows Great Garden Street, located between Burmantofts Street and Accommodation Road. The view is towards Burmantofts Street, which cuts horizontally across. Beyond, on the far left, is number 4 Argyle Road, then a yard housing outside toilets, followed by number 2 Argyle Road, set at a slight angle. In the foreground on the north-east side of Great Garden Street is number 3, an end property with large shop windows which, in the 1913 Kelly's Directory of Leeds, is listed as a beer retailer. At this time the proprietor was Patrick Foley. By 1939, when this photograph was taken, it is thought to be a corner shop. A man is seated on the step of the shop and there is a large advertisement for Kodak Film on the upper storey. Washing is hanging from a sash window and next door wire netting covers broken window panes. The building adjoins some business premises. The properties in Great Garden Street and the surrounding streets had largely disappeared by the time of the 1950 OS map. Housing in the Rigton's and Haslewood's now occupy the locality. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Accommodation Road Argyle Road corner shop Great Garden Street advertising hoardings Burmantofts Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=17... | Go to resource |
