Description: | c.1910.
Crowds have gathered in Green Road, left, and at the junction with Cromwell Street. Two women, one wearing a shawl and apron, walk along Cromwell Street to join the celebration. It may have been a Whitsuntide parade as many people are dressed in their very best clothes. There are little girls in white dresses and flower-trimmed bonnets. A small boy in the foreground, left of centre, sports a sailor suit with white, square collar and sailor hat. A banner is carried along Green Road, left, but the wording is not clear. On the corner at no's.24,26 and 28 Green Road is John Blackwood, Pawnbroker. A sign says 'Money advanced on gold and silver'. Metal railings protect the windows and glass door of the shop during hours of closure. The photograph was most likely taken on a Sunday in this locality known as Newtown. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Green Road Newtown Cromwell Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
