Knowl Rd

Do you notice anything missing on Knowle Road today? At the time this photograph was taken around 1910 the building that now houses the estate agents had a third floor!
This building was the headquarters of the Mirfield Industrial Co-operative Society. Along with the Mirfield Perseverance Co-operative society and several smaller co-ops they all played an important part in the towns day to day life, not only serving the community through provision of goods but also providing employment, housing and savings services.
The building on the left, now Blockbuster Video, was Robert Barrowclough's draper's shop. The two rather ornate glass lamps on the shop front would probably have a considerably shorter life
expectancy these days!
In the car park on the right used to stand James Rudd's smithy's shop, behind which was a coal yard that for many years supplied and delivered the only fuel available for cooking and heating.
