	Comment	1900: An unusual view of Yeadon Fountain with a covering of snow.

P179

Undated: The fountain is on the left next to Murgatroyd's Moorfield Mill, Now the site of Murgatroyd's fish restaurant (December 2015).

Victoria Avenue (Harrogate Road) runs diagonally across the view, a finger post points up Bayton Lane to Horsforth on the right.

A Belisha Beacon is at the kerbside to enable pedestrians to cross the road safely which indicates that the photo dates from after 1934 when the beacons were first introduced.

Undated: Yeadon Fountain, it's disappearance during WW2 gave rise to a mystery as to it's fate.

I believe this fountain now stands on the Promenade at Lytham St Annes.There is a story of how it came about
but I am not sure of the facts.

I thought that was the case but it turns out there were about 5 or 6 of these made and the one at St Annes is not the one from Yeadon
