14. Morley in the 1970s
It was the end of the road for a bypass in the town in March 1975. The land needed for a new roundabout at the bottom of the High Street was still owned by three landlords and British Rail. It meant a delay of at least a year in completing the link from Fountain Street to High Street. | YPN Photo: YPN
