This view of Eastthorpe looking towards Newgate shows little change to the left hand side of the road, but note the complete absence of
buildings on the right hand side. The building in the background, now Speights Lighting, no longer has its ridged roof; as it was destroyed by a fire in the late 1970's. The shop on the
left with the bay display window used to be "Leslie Brook's Toy Shop" and for many years the children of Mirfield stared through that window counting their pocket money in the hope of being able to
afford some magical toy within.
