This image is taken looking towards the Market East corner of the Market Square. The Bluebird Cafe occupied the premises to the right of the Unicorn Hotel. The cafe was later demolished to be rebuilt as the National Westminster Bank. (Occupied by the Skipton Building Society in 2017). The part of Hague's shop which can be seen on the right, became Smithson's Hairdressers. Learoyd's shop, located to its left was bought by the Midland Bank in the 1930's. The image was taken on 15 May 1924, possibly by Bulmer Rudd, who owned a chemist shop in Westgate.
