Other family members lived in Elmsley Street Steeton, I was given information she had an 'up market' shop close by. Are there any trade directories for that area and era?

I think you'll find it a difficult search without a shop name.

I did find in 1954, 1955 (didn't check other years) House Fashion, Address   40 Chapel lane, Bingley.

From Ancestry's Phone Book database.

My wife tells me that there was once a Ladies clothes shop in Cross Hills called Fortunes and Cross Hills is only a few miles up the road from Steeton ?
