What a shame Betty's closed in Leeds. Would much rather have had the Cafe than a mobile phone shop anyday! To the right of the picture was a ladies dress shop. I think it was Lafayette. I seem to remember there was always a wedding dress in one of the windows.

Very occasionally my mother used to take me to Betty's Cafe. We always seemed to have the same food - sardines on toast and just one cake. I always tried to persuade my mother to let me have another cake, but I was never successful.

I sometimes used to go to betty's with my mum and dad, used to always have tomato sandwiches with cress, loved looking out of the window and watching the World go by

I married in 1962 and I had my wedding reception at Betty's. It was a fancy affair with a three course meal for 50 in the room with the curtained windows.
