Description: | c1900s.
Colour-tinted postcard of Briggate looking north from the junction with Boar Lane and Duncan Street. Sutton's Mantle Warehouse on the left has businesses including Palmer & Co., candle manufacturers, on the upper floors. On the right are J.W. Bean & Son, booksellers, George Jackson and Lockhart's cafe. A postal date of 19th April 1906 is stamped on the back but the picture is likely to date to a few years previous to this, since the Bull and Mouth Hotel, seen to the left of centre here, has not yet been extended upwards, as it appears in photos of c1904. This extension probably took place around 1903 at the time that the hotel changed its name to the Grand Central. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Briggate | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
