I grew up in menston & there used to be a shop called Seamans DIY, plus i'm sure Knobs & Knockers had a shop in Burley (in Wharfedale)....

I knew Knobs & Knockers was in Harrogate but haven't heard of one more local.

Not in Leeds, or even Yorkshire, or 'suggestive' but one I've always loved is The Jolly Bodger, DIY and Hardware shop in Hayle, Cornwall.
