Lewis Green
Send your boots for affordable repairs to Lewis Green, Hollowgate, Holmfirth.
Overview
This low-budget advertising film has a persuasive way with words. It's likely to have been shown in Holmfirth's historic Holme Valley Picture Theatre (now the Picturedrome), which opened in 1913. The Lewis Green shoe shop on Hollowgate has since been replaced by a sandwich shop and a beauty salon.
