Located on Otley Road, this was the old tram shed.
The height of the entrance demonstrates the headroom needed for the trams to pass.
When it was no longer used as a tram shed it was occupied by a family firm Spooner Engineering, who are now located in Ilkley.
Next, it was Arnold Laver’s DIY store, at the time the photos were taken the building was being converted into apartments and a fitness centre.
