Ackroyd Coffee Bar

Church Lane c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Just down the road from the Shoulder of Mutton pub was Ackroyds coffee bar. In the 60s we young ones would meet, listen to the juke box, drinking frothy coffee.
The horse and cart outside the pub belonged to Herman Wood the local milkman. The cart was a daily sight outside the pub.

RE: RE: Ackroyd Coffee Bar

My mother and father used to run the coffee bar, Alice and Munro Ackroyd. It used to be an ironmongers and my dad was the local plumber. I think the lad walking down the road may be me!
