Description: | August 1973.
View of the Town Hall Buildings in Queen Street built by Albert Webster, the butcher at the end shop, number 62A. The Town Hall Buildings opened in 1936. This photograph was taken from the turret of the 1899 Morley Co-op bulding which, since 1975, has been Barclays Bank on the ground floor. By the time of the photograph the end of the Town Hall buildings had been built up against (Yorkshire Bank) after only a few years of being opened out by the demolition of the old gas showrooms. At this time the Yorkshire Bank was the first building in Windsor Court. Between Albert Webster's and Sheard's chemist was the entrance to a narrow alleyway called Gisburn Court that contained old houses, now demolished. Next to Webster's, on the right, was the Town Hall Cafe which was a business owned by Kennedy's Caterers; next to that was the Handymans Shop which has moved twice since this picture was taken - to the top of Peel Street and then to the old Ebenezer Primitive Methodist Chapel in Fountain Street; finally by the Pudsey and Elland bus stop is the Town Hall Buildings hairdessing salon.
