The old Johnson & Appleyards HQ as seen from the top of Fargate.
As there was no post yesterday (Bank Holiday) I will be doing 2 today.
Since doing this blog I've been 'looking' more when walking to and from work. Just last week I looked up and saw something I'd never seen before. On this building - Yorkshire House, which is now home to H.L. Brown jewellers I noticed an engraving in the stone work. It states that the tenants of the building were Cabinet Makers 'By special appointment to H.R.H The Prince of Wales' - the older one, not Charles, as it's circa 1890. The company was Johnson & Appleyard.
As I'm just using my camera phone at the moment I couldn't take a good enough quality pic of the plaque, so I will follow this post up at some point with a nice close-up. For a good insight into Johnson & Appleyard visit this website.
