Now here is a real mystery photograph for you. It was taken on the 25 February 1995. It is a narrow passageway which is not there now, in fact the low building on the left and the higher building on the right have been demolished and is now a car park.

The history of the seven-storey building in the distance and to the left dates back to the nineteenth century. This mill was second in size to the huge Alexander Mill in Mill Royd Street which burnt down in October 1903.

For those readers who attended St Martin's School in Church Lane, Brighouse, you might remember being given one of these blotters.  They were used for advertising the Yorkshire Bank school accounts that were being promoted through the bank and most local schools.

Brighouse Co-op is certainly getting ahead with the opening of its new haiurdressing salon shown here during the late 1960s. There is no indication who the hairdresser is or who his first customer is in the chair. But Walter Bond the General Manager (left) and Clifford Hartley the Co-op Board President watch on, maybe it's their turn next! 

Here is just a small section of Park Street. All these business premises have changed not only the tenants/owners but what they sell as well.  First on the right is Walter Robinson's electrical shop. This property was built on the site of some very old 19th century properties that were demolished. Robinson's moved to this site after their own shop in Bradford Road near to the junction with Hangram Street was demolished to make way for the new bypass which was built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
