Description: | 1960s.
1960s view of New Road Side, looking west. This area of Horsforth had it's own thriving shopping centre along either side of New Road Side. The white building seen right is Chadwick's Confectioners, where a woman can be seen looking in the window. The bakery was at the rear of the shop and all the bread, fruit pies, cakes and custards would be produced there. Wedding Cakes and small buns and fancies would be decorated with icing. In the first floor window a display of flowers is visible. This upstairs room was the venue for funeral teas and wedding receptions all catered for by Chadwick's. Next to the bakery is Dewhurst's, butchers, a well established firm of butchers in Leeds with many branches including Kirkgate Market. Outside Dewhurst's is the bus stop for buses into Leeds City Centre, then the junction with Featherbank Avenue leading to Horsforth Featherbank County Primary Infant and Junior Schools. Past the junction, the light coloured canopies belong to numbers 88 - 94, all part of the Co-op store, including the L.I.C.s Pharmacy on the corner, number 88. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Dewhurst's New Road side Co-op | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
