Description: | c1965.
View of a busy New Road Side looking west, dating from the 1960s. Several cars are parked on the left and Newbould's delivery van is seen on the right. At the left edge scaffolding is in place. The building adjoining the Midland Bank is off camera, left, and was once the Glen Royal Cinema. It was probably around this time that it was undergoing conversion to a supermarket called Allways. It eventually became Grandways. Moving right the next parade is numbers 77 to 85 New Road Side with Cragg Hill Post Office, then Yaxley's for handbags, jewellry, gifts and hosiery, then Sharp's tobacco and confectionery shop, followed by Wadsworth & Co. Hardware ironmongery and then Jesse Stephonson's Grocers. This was known as Clarence Parade. Beyond is Hinchcliffe's bakery and confectioners shop at 87 and Vernon's at 89. At the right side of the image the single storey building has been a butcher's shop for many years. It adjoins Keelings Off Licence (not seen) at the junction with Sunnybank Avenue. At the other side of the junction, on the corner, is Mitchell's Chemist and Optican at number 88 New Road Side. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Sunnybank Avenue New Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
