An early 1950s image of the back to back terraces in Wortley. At the far end of the cobbled street by the outside toilet a street light stands. On the right of the image is no 2 Bushire Street, the home of Mrs Jane Webster the proprietor of Armley Road Fisheries. No 17 Armley Road seen on the gable end of the terraces on the side wall of the fisheries is a poster advertising the Empire Theatre, Leeds. Promoted is the Carrol Levis Talent Discoveries Show with the 'irresistable' Violet Pretty, an actress later spotted by a talent scout from Rank Entertainment.
