44. Morley in the 1990s
Queen Street in July 1995 from its junction with Hope Street at the entrance to Morley Market. By this time the street had become pedestrianised but work had not yet started on the changes that later took place. There is a little evidence of improvements to the Town Hall beginning in preparation for the centenary of its opening on 16th October 1995. The shops shown here include Watson's (confectioners), Granada (TV Rental), Lawton's (greengrocers), the Children's Society Shop, Sheard's (pharmacist), the four shops of the Town Hall Buildings, the Town Hall and Lloyd's Bank. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive
