I spotted this in Leeds back in January and I was so taken aback by it I didn’t even think to making a note of which shop this striking window display belonged to (but I have a feeling it was on Great George Street).

Also, note the moustache…

I spotted this up in the window of a bookshop in Haworth [I couldn’t remember the name of the establishment, but a popular search engine has not only informed me that the business is called Venables & Bainbridge Books, but if you looked on “street view” you can see the photograph in the window for yourself; to the right of the door]. Does this photograph really depicts The Tour of Britain c.1959? What does it matter; it’s a great image!
