Description: | 1954
View taken looking down Back Fold in the direction of Town Street. The properties are numbered from left to right (lower buildings) 107, 105 and 103. The taller building, far left, is the Railway Inn at number 109, which was known locally as the 'Jerry'. A jerry-house or a jerry-shop was a place that only sold ales and stouts. It was originally a name given to an unlicensed public house where only home brewed ale was sold. Jerry-beer was also regarded as an inferior brew sold in a jerry-shop. Some believe that the Railway Inn was also known as the Jerry after the popular Landlord Jerry Buttery. Local people referred to the pub as the 'jerry 'ole'. Jerry Buttery is listed in Robinson's Directory of Leeds for 1899. The Inn actually was a beer house at this time. A sign on the gable end points in the direction of Kirby Banks Screw Company Ltd, bolt and nut manufacturer's. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Back Fold Railway Inn Town Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
