Description: | c1970s.
View of Waterloo Road showing in the centre no.110, J.W. Longbottom & Sons, tobacconist, confectioner, newsagent and toy shop. The next two shops, C.R. Butler Furnishers and J. Bleasby's Hairdressers both look empty as would the rest of that parade prior to demolition. The street to the left is Gisburn Street and the low wall behind the two cars is what was left after demolition of the Hunslet Rolling/Nail Mill, later Langhams furniture makers; now the whole site is a Morrison's supermarket. Several people can be seen outside Longbottoms, which was a very well known shop especially in the years after the war when tobacco and confectionary were in short supply. During the war the cellars beneath Longbottom's shop and others on the same parade were knocked into one to form a large air raid shelter for the surrounding streets with access via a side door on Gisburn Street. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Gisburn Street Waterloo Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
