Lancelot Routh & Sons – Plasterers – 1950s
There is no information to accompany these two photographs in the AHS archive, however, I think it’s the building company of Lancelot Routh & Son and
I think it is Haw Avenue in Yeadon. I also think that the house on the right is number 29 and that’s my bedroom window in the corner.
