Description: | July 1973. This is the special room set apart for the Mayor and Mayoress in the Civic Suite of Rooms in Morley Town Hall. The photograph was taken when Jack and Shirley Binks were the last Mayor and Mayoress. Their pictures are at either side of the clock on the shelf above the fireplace. In front of the fireplace is a special rug made about 1960 with the Morley coat-of-arms and motto on it. The polished mahogany table shines brightly and always when Morley had a Mayor of its own there was a vase of flowers on this table. The door in the right hand corner leads directly into the Council Chamber, while the mahogany cabinet at the back of the room contains the drinks. Apart from the King and Queen and the Mayor and Mayoress, all the pictures on the wall of the Mayor's room are of people who have become Freeman of the Borough of Morley. To the right of the fireplace the large coloured portrait is of Sir William Middlebrook; the person in the wig is Fred Thackray; behind the central chandelier is Sir Charles Scarth and near the Council Chamber door is Benjamin Peel Hepworth.
