And another one on Woodview Road in Beeston.Interesting spelling of Grocerie's. Wonder what the Eat, Shoots & Leaves crowd would make of that one!

Cant be many left that we havent got! If I remember correctly under the new sign it says Co-op or Leeds Co-op - L.I.C.S something like that.

(you may need good eyes here) Well now... could this be the very Cocoa House run by a relative of ours- one John Naylor, in 1881!!?? If so, I am delighted that you may have unearthed the site! The census just gives Hunslet Road- so maybe there were other Cocoa Houses, but I am intrigued. Just shows what signs can unearth, and how important it is to preserve them! Trudy

Tried to have look through the thread but I cant seem to see if this one has already been posted or not. If so, apologies.On Briggate, opposite McDonalds just right of Thornton's Arcade, Cant make out what it says very well and the photo isn't the best, but if any one has any ideas.....(the sign is painted on the exposed wall above to the left of sole.)
