When Dyron's was on East Street, would it have been down at the town end, near Battys Brush Works? I remember taking my Reliant Robin for repairs to a place down there in the mid 80s, but I can't remember what the fim was called, but being a biker as well as using my Reliant to get to work at 5AM (postie) I might well have chosen a bike firm to do the work.

Yes it was Bruno. North side of the road, several doors west of the Waterloo pub, close to Phill D's beck which featured so wonderfully on these pages.I bought several bikes from Dyrons when they occupied the East Street site.

It was Harveys, over the road from Dyrons, had my Reliant re-roofed there after I turned it upside down

On page 23 of the Yorkshire Evening Post today (June 18 2025) it reports that the Dyrons site could become a Christian church.

Back in the late 1940s and at least the early 1950s the then Leeds Industrial Co-operative Society had a small refrigerated building just on the Rookwood Avenue side (off Osmondthorpe Lane) from where milk was stored before going out for delivery. As a child I sometimes went in for fun and probably to cool down!
