Description: | c1920s.
Image shows Henry Bateson, Fruiterer, Potato Merchant and Beer Retailer standing in the doorway of his shop at number 83 Woodhouse Lane. He was born in about 1861 and originated from Sandal in Wakefield. He was married with 3 children, Alice M., Harry and Walter K. Alice is listed in a directory for 1932 as the proprietor of this shop. Harry and Walter in later years had a confectionery business at number 55 B North Street. The shop window is piled high with various types of fruit ranging from between 3d and 8d per 1b in price. A sign advertises Henry Bateson as a 'Nut Specialist' and some of these are also on display. The site of these premises was at the rear of the Civic Hall. For many years it had been a car park and only recently Leeds Metropolitan University have begun to build a landmark development called 'The Rose Bowl'. Reflected in the shop window is the sign of a shop at number 92 Woodhouse Lane, M.A. Higgingbottom, Fruiterers and Florists.
