On the High Street workmen have dug out the road down to the bedrock. The High Street had been totally renovated in 2009 at a cost of £900,000 by North Midland Construction.
The road was resurfaced, pavements widened, a zebra crossing installed and in Town Hall Square benches were placed, flower tubs placed and oak trees planted.
The road surface deteriorated rapidly and is now being re-laid.
Looking down into the excavation on the High Street, work being carried out on a Sunday to to minimise traffic disruption. Not in clear view but of historical interest is the original culvert from Yeadon Tarn (Dam), it ran across the road here from the left, approximately in front of Greggs diagonally towards the library.
It then continued in the direction of the Steep (Town Street) and was used as a water supply to power the mills. One of which was the Old Dog Mill, built in 1792 by Joseph Cawthera who lived opposite the mill in Yeadon Manor.
It was supposedly the first mill in Yeadon to use steam power, Cawthera diverted the water course for his own use which enraged the townspeople. They sued him and he was forced to reinstate the water flow to its original course.
Later he became bankrupt then emigrated to Canada.
On the left is Unisex hairdressers, next Brittain’s Sweet Shop then empty premises, black shutters cover the window of Heebie Jeebies cafe.
