These shops were located at the bottom of the Steep (Town Street), an area called Yeadon Green. W Smith, a grocer and confectioner has jars of sweets, cakes and tinned goods in his windows. Possibly it is Mr Smith in the shop doorway with the two ladies.
On the left is the smoking chimney of Manor Mills.

You will notice on this photograph that there is no shop on the left hand side, what is now Home Electrics, and has been other things including Jesse Stephensons. Mr Blatchley came to Yeadon in 1868 originally from London, to trade as a chemist, and he made it his home till he died in 1897 and he is buried in Yeadon Cemetary, This photograph must be a little earlier than 1900.

The bottom picture,the two cottages behind the two men in the middle of the picture, the one on the right was a confectioners and next door lower down was a cafe, Also at the top middle, they are either taking a building down or building it, could this be the Cricketers Arms. If they are building on the r.h.s of the picture the Temperance Hall it must be just before 1905.

The small shop in the middle picture was a barbers shop in the 1950s. As a little lad you sat on a piece of wood resting on the chair arms. He only used hand clippers which often stuck and pulled your hair.

This is another of my playgrounds in the 1920’s, when my parents were living with my paternal grandparents in Woods Yard just off the photo to the right and later when my parents moved into Haworth lane, just off the photo to the left.

I too remember that gents hairdressers as well. I often wondered what he meant when he asked the adults “Anything for the weekend Sir?” LOL. I also recall reading all the comics whilst waiting for my turn with my mum sat next to me, it seemed to take ages….
