View looking down Churwell Hill from just above the Old Golden Fleece Public House. It was a Tetley's pub at this time and is shown on the right with two cars in its car park. This is taken just after the shops had been demolished. The old millinery shop once run by Mrs. Wilson is still standing but no longer in use for that purpose.

| Churwell Hill 'New Year's Scramble' (Churwell) |
| c1900s.
Image shows the local tradition of the 'New Year's Scramble' on Churwell Hill, Elland Road. Dave Morley, 'The Teacake King' who also specialised in wet fish, had a special treat for children on New Year's Day. He would heave a shovelful of pennies in his baker's oven until red-hot, then let the children scramble for them on the pavement. The Old Fleece is shown at the right edge. It had its entrance at the back and was demolished in 1934. Information from the writings of Bob Dennis, research by Ronnie Barraclough. Photograph from the David Atkinson Archive.
