Betty's Cafe - St. Helen's Square

The famous Betty's Cafe on the corner of St. Heln's Square and Daveygate. It was a well known venue for Air Force crews in the area during WWII. One relic from that time is a mirror with aircrew signatures scratched into the glass. The Cafe is owned nowadays by Taylor's of Harrogate, the tea company. There is also a Betty's Cafe in Harrogate.
