Description: | 1981.
View of an old stone building dating from 1854, located at the junction of Lowtown with Kent Road, left, formerly Crimbles Road. Note the loading bay at first floor level. This was originally built as two shops and was a well-known grocery business in Pudsey in the latter half of the 19th century. The 1861 census shows Emanuel Mortimer, grocer, at this address, with his nephew, James Booth. James was apprenticed to Emanuel Mortimer and eventually, in 1867, the grocer purchased more shop premises in Lowtown, at number 22 (on the corner with Hammerton Fold, later to be known as Booth's Yard). James Booth was installed to run the shop, which is where the yard got its name. Emanuel Mortimer married Sarah Hannah Roberts when he was in his late forties, in 1878. They are recorded on the 1881 census, along with their two small sons, Louis Gaithwait and Edwin Augustus. The former grocer's shop, seen here, was occupied by a print works around the time the photograph was taken. It has since been demolished. Millennium Court, a development of flats, now occupies the site, built in the year 2000.
