Central Stores
The large 3-storey building to the right of centre, was the village grocery store at 91 Lane Head Road. My father purchased it in 1961 from Frank Armitage. He sold it in 1984 when he retired. At the rear were stables, groceries used to be delivered by horse drawn cart, but my father used a Ford Thames van, until in 1966 when he got a Ford Cortina estate car from H. W. Gill. To the right of our shop was Copleys bakery.

RE: RE: Central Stores
Hi all, I was born at Holme Valley Memorial Hospital in Holmfirth and grow up in Shepley from 1971 to 1992, and lived on Jos Lane, then me and my parents moved to Yew Tree Road, Shepley. I remember walking to Shepley First School when I was young and walking past the post office, then past Doug's newsagent's shop, the butchers, then past the old Co-op, I also remember that the building across the road from the Black Bull was the Shepley youth club back in the 1980s.
