The two shops visible are numbers 52 Domestic Street, Harry Schofield's grocers, left, and 50 Domestic Street, Misses Martha and Betty Austin, Pork Butchers. The shop premises are part of a row of back-to-back terraced properties opening on to Domestic Street at one side, right, and Atkinson Street on the other side, left. Properties on the west side of Atkinson Street are back-to-back with Keating Street. A sign on the wall of Austin's indicates the start of Sydenham Street. In the bottom left-hand corner there is a postbox located close to the junctions with Sydenham Place and Albert Street. In Domestic Street, at the right edge, the Unitarian Chapel and Sunday School is visible. In 1931 the chapel was converted to the Gainsborough Picture House by Leeds architect Frank Mitchell. It could seat 578 people with 113 being accommodated in the former chapel balcony. The cinema closed in 1966 and the building was used as a warehouse. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Domestic Street Sydenham Street Austin butchers | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=99... | Go to resource |
