Leek in 1900

The top photo reads... "Leek's old baths can be seen on the left of this picture, c. 1900. The small building with the pyramid-shaped roof housed a public weighing machine. It stood on the area known as 'Sparrow park', part of the old cattle market site before the Monument was built".

The bottom photo reads... "Sanders' Buildings, at the corner of Derby Street and Haywood Street, was designed by Sugden and Son, the Leek architects, in 1894 as shops with living accomodation. It is still known locally as 'Mears's Corner', from the name of a former shopkeeper".
