Otley West Yorkshire In 1948/49

[rayjack]

Does anyone know the name of a pharmacy in Otley in 1948. I went to school at Prince Henry’s Grammar 1948/49 and it was on our walking route from the bus to the school. I used to buy photographic chemicals there. I’m pretty sure the name began with F. Fairfax or Fawkes or something like that

Try entering 'old Otley photographs' in Google. That might help.

The West Yorkshire History Centre (and/or the Leeds Archive Service) might well have trade directories from that period.

You could try this site - Photographs or Memories. Or post your own query there perhaps.

I have a friend (now late 70s) who went to Prince Henry's. I'll be seeing her on Wednesday and will ask her for you.
