Panama-hatted Tom Roe, 'Dealer in Worn-out Horses' (perhaps a grand name for a rag and bone man), clip-clops his way down the Skipton Road through Keighley. To his left, a group of schoolchildren mill around waiting for their school bus, while opposite, the gleaming white building of the Picture House awaits its cinemagoers.

Looking at that photo I remember my father taking me to James Berry for my hair cut. It said on the sign, 'James Berry gentlemans hairdresser'.

James' son Jeffrey was also there but a few years older than me.
