Description: | September 1965.
View of the High Street near its junction with the Hunger Hill and Bridge Street. The railway bridge , although looking delapidated, was still in use at this time, as Morley Top goods yard was still in operation - the last load of coke to be delivered by rail came in 1969. This part of Morley, known as Upper Isle, was an early development of the village. Some of the houses in the principal row have been recently restored. When the trams from Morley to Leeds stopped running in 1935 a double-decker bus service between Leeds and the old Angel was introduced up High Street. The first buses could not negotiate the bridge and so the road underneath it was lowered - hence the houses at both sides of the road look to be at the side of raised pavements.
