Never mind! I have a half dozen books of old Bradford containing several photos of Tyrrel Street, including one taken in 1891 looking towards Bank Street and Hustlergate. It shows Brown & Muff and a bank called what was then the Bradford Commercial Bank. Might that be the one? I will scan and e-mail one or two pics to you, but you may have to give me a few days, since I am currently a bit up to my ears in work and visiting my wife, who is in hospital for an operation.

I did ask in the Archives and they were very helpful and did supply quite a number of Tyrrel St old photos. It was one of these I used to verify the plot. They found a sewer map too which named/ marked the Yorkshire bank as the corner plot. Only after I left the Archives , searched the street and left the area did I wonder if there might be a Bank street photo as well,showing the front or other side . Yes please,scan any possible picture when you have the chance. I hope the operation goes well for your wife.

I'll be anxious to see if you get an answer as my relies are buried there. I wrote the cemetery 3 years ago asking for some information and they never answered. I found out later that they don't respond to letters. Diane in California
