Parish Newsagents – c1932
Harrogate Road runs from top to bottom through the centre of the view with Bayton Lane to the left and Yeadon High Street on the right. The building at the corner with Bayton Lane was erected by Sarah and Charlie Parish who were the grandparents of Peter Parish who donated the photo. It was a newsagents and general grocery store with petrol pumps to the side of the shop, an approaching car appears to be turning into the pumps. In the bottom right corner part of the roof of William Murgatroyd’s Moorfield Mill can be seen.
Editor’s Note: This junction was locally known by locals and bus companies as the ‘Fountain’, due to there having been a large ornate drinking fountain had been sited in the 1900s through to WWII. Behind the house with the two chimneys, which still stands today, is a now long gone Yeadon reservoir. New build housing completely covers the area. A high wall runs adjacent to the reservoir and Just further along the road just out of view was a bus stop which if you were on the top deck of a bus you could see over the wall. Ed.
