Evening all, could anyone tell me where the Leeds branch of the Royal liver Friendly Society is or was please in Leeds city centre? The reason im asking is that my Gt Gt Grandfather was the founder member of the Leeds branch, as i found out tonight from meeting my gt uncle, and that when my Gt Uncle and his siblings including my grandfather went to take there mums death cert to release whatever was due, theypeople of Royal Liver saw her maiden name and realised it was Moss, and said oh your a relative of the founder and they had apparently a great big picture of Henry Moss my gt gt grandfather upon the wall, and an inscription. it would be great to where this place is or if i can get a copy of the picture. ive tried googling but just get the Liverpool sites all the time thankyou in advance Weenie

Leodis throws up a 1921 view of a branch in Cheapside - Morley.There was certainly one or more branches in Leeds and other suburbs.Anybody got an old payment book ?

In April 1984 I dealt with the Leeds branch of the Royal Liver Friendly Society in connection with the estate of my late father. At that time their office was at :-First Floor, York Buildings 8 York Place    Leeds 1I have no idea if they are still there. Hope this helps.
