Murphy's - Menston - April 2011

Visited with Zero81 & 02E

Awesome win. This place is like a scaled down version of George Barnsley's over in Sheffield. Drawer's full of finely stenciled plans carved into tissue paper, porn, machinery, all good if you ask me. A nice way to burn off the buzz of High Royd's and a nice finish to a splendid day out...

First established in 1926, GL Murphy was a family-run business providing leather tanning machinery, rag cutters and cable strippers. They moved to their Menston site in 1949 and finally closed their doors at some point after 200 (Pinched from HappyShopper)
