There was one in the Arndale Centre at Crossgates too - I used to spend some pocket money in there.

Grandways was a Hull firm and was, IIRC, a trading name of the Hull bakers Wm Jacksons. Just round the corner in Vicar lane, first shop in the block which contained the WYRCC bus station at the other end, was the first Morrisons in Leeds - a very tiny narrow place. The enterprising Asian people who later had the shop turned the name plate round, still black on yellow, and altered it to read "Mirrisons." !!
