Description: | Undated. This is Windsor House, Queen Street, taken from some considerable height, perhaps the 1899 Co-operative building almost as soon as it opened. If so, this would be the year after Joseph Schofield died, Morley's first Mayor who had lived here most of the time that the Town Hall was being built. After his death the house was occupied by doctors in the town until it was eventuallly bought by Morley Co-op only to be sold on to Morley Town Hall who wanted extra premises for the expansion of the Public Health Department. It remained as such until extra building had been done behind the central clinic and the Public Health Department moved there. This left another area by the Town Hall to clear and the way was left open for the building of Windsor Court, the shopping precinct, Morrison's, the car park and petrol station from 1972 onwards.
