1. Morley in 1972
Kenyon's Corn Stores on Ackroyd Street in May 1972. A man and woman stand by the door. This long standing business originated in 1877 when John Kenyon, after 23 years experience as a woollen spinner at Peel Mill, bought a grocer's and off-licence shop at the end of Annie Street. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive
2. Morley in 1972
Looking along the route to Leeds from the path between Daisy Hill and Valley Road. Many changes have taken place in the past dozen years. All the sidings between the main line and the remains of the gasworks have been taken up. Pictured in April 1972. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive
3. Morley in 1972
The 3 bay and 7 bay building of Kirk and Steele's Crank Mill, Station Road, Morley, while still in use as a textile factory in April 1972. There is no activity because the picture was taken on a Sunday. Heavy shadow obscures the left hand side of the photo and there is not enough height, by going up Bilberry Bank, to give detail in the roof. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive

The buildings in view belong to Crank Mill, Yorkshires first Steam powered mill, built by the Earl of Dartmouth in the early 1790s. The corner site on the left at the junction of Station Road and Valley Road is where the Valley Hotel once stood. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive
6. Morley in 1972
This dark, gloomy photo from April 1972 shows the upper part of Wesley Street just before clearance to make way for Siegen Manor and the associated flats all on the right hand side. There was also some clearance on the left where Haydn Court was opened out into Westfield Road. All this was making use of space near the town centre for housing for elderly people. | David Atkinson Archive Photo: David Atkinson Archive
