The
shop in Harewood Square, owned by Vassalli Pelegrino, is a treasure
trove of delights.
Children can press their noses against the glass and wonder at the
display of toys in one window. |

More
household objects are displayed, in the window on the other side
of the door, with a wide range of fancyware.
Children can take a trip back in educational time. Opposite the
shop is the Wesleyan Sunday School (below).

The
classroom, run by Miss Milne, shows a school that very few children
will recognise nowadays.
Another reality in Leeds' life is represented in the square by Sowry's,
the pawnbroker and jeweller. Short term loans, at the risk of losing
the item pawned, could be had at this shop.
S. Strong, wholesale tobacco pipe manufacturer, set up his business
in 1882 by Harewood Square (below).
