20. Morley in 1967
Looking up Scatcherd Hill, Queen Street, from the traffic lights. The road and particularly the pavement on the right hand side have been widened after the demolition of the buildings there, but the display of bulbs and shrubs has not been started. The shops at the left hand side have not been cleaned as yet and traffic still seems rather sparse while there are still no double yellow lines. Photo: David Atkinson Archive
21. Morley in 1967
Looking up Chapel Hill from near the traffic lights at the bottom of Queen Street. At this time the bus stop was still by Cheapside at the start of the hill and old established traders were still in the Bottoms e.g. R. A. B. Riley, N. Fox, A. Rogerson (Baxter's), J. Hutchins and Firths shoe repairers. Photo: David Atkinson Archive

Afternoon shadows in Queen Street looking at the Morley Industrial Co-operative Society Buldings on the main bank side. The foreground shadow is from the Town Hall Tower. At the time, all three sections of the Morley Co-op were still open. It looks as if the furnishing section has been moved into Society House, many of the buildings along Albion Street have been closed including the grocery store, and a supermarket for food has been made in the 1899 building next to the bank. The 1957 Society House appears to sell furniture upstairs and the 1938 red-brick building (Emporium) was joined onto Society House and was probably selling the same type of goods at this time. Before the Morley Co-op closed down the food supermarket had moved into Society House and the Emporium. Photo: David Atkinson Archive
