In the 1950s there was in Great George Street an upstairs business specialising in repairing damaged clothes - the name of the proprietor appeared on a green and red neon sign "GLADYS M ATKINSON INVISIBLE REPAIRER"

On our way home from Meanwood Road baths in the late 1960's, my dad used to stop for fish and chips at the shop on the parade on the right of Harehills Lane as it goes downhill approaching the junction with Compton Road. I think there was a doctor's surgery in that row of shops with a Dr De'Ath.
Uncle Mick, am I deluded in my recollection?

A few years ago my mother, a Church of Scotland member, died and I made enquiries to find a Church of Scotland minister to conduct her funeral in Leeds. The firm of undertakers put me in touch with the relevant person whose name was Robert Way, known in the Church of Scotland as Pastor (a correct official title) Way .

There was an Autowreckers in the 1970s called "Bangers And Smash" but I can't remember if it was in Leeds or not as I spent a fair amount of time in Bristol, maybe someone can recall this place.

There was a motorcycle firm called Twistgrip & Spanners on Domestic Street I think, please excuse if this has already been mentioned.
