Image shows the frontage of Highbury Works, formerly
Meanwood Tannery, situated in Green Road. It was built on the site of the old Wood Mills by Samuel Smith the Younger (1829-1880) in 1857. His initials are carved on the datestone above the doorway. Samuel Smith moved to Tadcaster to re-open the familys' Old Brewery which became Samuel Smith's Tadcaster Ales, and new tenants, William Gibson & Son, fellmongers, moved into the premises in 1914. In 1920 the property was sold by Samuel Smith to Robert Jowett & Sons Ltd. At the time of closure in 1994 it was owned by Robert Barker & Son (Fellmonger) Ltd. This view shows the entrance to Highbury Works including the wages office and clocking-in point. Inside there is a plaque commemorating all the workforce who served in World War I. After 1994 the Grade II listed buildings were preserved and incorporated into a residential development of conversion and new build.
