Description: | c1919-22. Alderman Henry Hedley Watson is pictured wearing two badges of office as Mayor of Morley. There is the large chain over his robes and across his shoulders and the smaller badge of office around his neck. At times when it was felt to be too awkward to wear the official chain (e.g. at a Mayor's Ball), the smaller badge acted as a substitute. Similarly when the Mayor finished his term of office he was presented with a replica of the Morley coat-of-arms on a small ribbon. H. H. Watson had three terms of office as Mayor, from November 1919 to November 1922. He played a big part in 1921 to prevent Leeds absorbing Morley at that time.
