The AHS Collection - 23rd July 2021

 

   Editor's Choice   

          John Hird Plumber Glazier and General Ironmonger     

Guiseley 1907

Mary Louise Hird is the girl in the doorway of her father's shop on Towngate. 

The shop windows are crammed with lamps, buckets, bowls, kettle and pans, the doorway is festooned with brushes and a gas boiler is on the pavement. 

John Hird has the look of a prosperous shopkeeper, puffing on his pipe with his thumbs tucked into his waistcoat!

Whilst the AHS website contains a wealth of information it does not contain all the photos, documents and maps which we hold.

Grateful thanks to Carlo Harrison who instigated digitising the collection and created this AHS website.
