The Station Hotel – c1900
A charming view of the Station Hotel on Otley Road with Oxford Road to the right.
This photo was taken before the trams came to Guiseley in 1909 and is a bucolic scene with a cow strolling across what is now the A65, one of the busiest roads in the area.
The Station Hotel has a canopy to the front which has since been removed, children sit beneath a gas lamp in the middle of the road, this is now a pedestrian controlled crossing.
The Station Hotel – 1930s
This was a tea garden behind the pub which also had its own allotment.
The landlord was W Watson, serving Melbourne Brewery Gold Medal ales plus a range of other refreshments.
The gardens became overgrown and are now a car park.

What an amazing view of the Station Hotel and hardly changed at all, the row of houses to the left are still there too.
Love the cow wandering across the road……… just made a delivery to Morrison’s no doubt!!

There is a sign on the roadside that says ” All Cars Stop Here “, so it is probably to do with tram cars, and there are two men dressed in transport uniforms with the long white coats. They are obviously celebrating something, could it be to do with King George V.
