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.

Another Newey Clock - Coney Street
This is the Little Admiral clock at St. Martin Le Grand church in Coney Street. It was restored by Geoff Newey in the 1960s after being badly damaged in a German air raid during WWII.
