I'm trying to work out what the figure is at the bottom of the Easy Road sign - it looks like a cartoon dog.I'll post a bit in the appropriate thread about my walkabout in Cross Green this morning.

The Yorkshire Evening News was the Yorkshire Evening Post's rival for many years (both printed in Leeds)- and I suppose its no coincidence that this sign was adjacent to the cricket/rugby grounds where there would be plenty of customers, and sellers walking round the grounds on match days. The Evening News closed c 1963 I believe.

Further to above - it looks like the difficult to read message at the bottom is "Best for sport"
