This early 1900s image shows the Tate's Dining Rooms. In front of the shop window displaying jars of confectionery stand the owner Mr William Tate with wife Martha, their children and two others possibly shop workers. On the far left is Thomas Tate the eldest son who assisted his parents in the dining rooms which opened from 6am-11pm. Thomas Later recalls: "Although we called ourselves dining rooms, and that was our main business we carried side lines ranging from sweets to snuff. I remember one very popular line, hair restorer made by my grandmother, I don't know if it worked but people certainly used to buy it. The dining rooms were popular with workmen, theatre goers and the police. Apparently the police did not have a canteen in those days so they used to come to our place for a sit down and a mug of tea". After the death of Mr William Tate the Lands Lane dining room closed and the family ran a similar business in Woodhouse Lane. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lands Lane Tate's Dining Rooms | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
