John Greenwood Ltd has stood proud on Church Street since 1856.
It’s a workwear and outdoor wear shop and a retail jewellery and repairs shop, which is always popular in the run-up to Christmas.
Inside it’s a piece of living history with fixtures and fittings that take you back in time.

It’s now more than a shop too. Upstairs Greenwood’s boasts one of the smallest museums in West Yorkshire.
The shop was saved for the people of Dewsbury by dentist Sue Baker, who bought it in 2015 when she retired from her practice across the road. It was set to be turned into flats.
