Image shows a mid 1890s Briggate where shops on the left include the tailors A. Barnanrd, Mansfield and Son boot and shoe makers and Louis Edward Franks Opticians at number 48. At number 50 is Thornton and Co India Rubber manufacturers. On the right of this a lantern displays the location of the Whitelocks public house. Ground floor businesses are shaded by striped awnings and in the case of L. E. Franks a large pair of spectacles have been painted over the stripes as an advertisement. First floor premises are advertised to let from agents Hepper and Sons at 12a East Parade. On the left of the road a large filled horse drawn wagon stands by the pavement. Multiple drawn trams travel along Briggate. The last one of the line has the destination Headingley Church written on it. In the foreground a man wearing a bowler hat and large while apron over his suit stands to the left of a milk churn barrow. On the far right a sign is visible advertising the location of the Bull and Mouth Hotel at number 138. In the 1858 Leeds guide this hotel was graded as a principal hotel and described as an old establishment commercial hotel. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Briggate | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
