Description: | March 1967. Two shops (Morris Wallpaper and Paints and Red Arrow TV Rentals) at the southern end of Queen Street, which occupy what was originally one large building dated 1890 and called The Benefactory. This was built by an influential draper named Frederick Tesseyman who was responsible in 1879 for organising Tuesday as half-day closing in Morley. After he left or died early in the 1900s, the building was divided into two parts and has accommodated all types of shops since, particularly several different high class grocers. The two shops there in March 1967 lasted only a short time. Khalid Fashions which specialises in school uniform has been there since the 1980s. Note that the Fountain Inn has not always occupied the whole of the building next door and that in 1967 the last door in the Fountain Block led into Terry Harrison's electrical contractors.
