Keighley shoppers can rest their weary legs and have a cuppa after travelling back in time.
Char ladies Janet Croden and daughter Chay will serve up some nostalgia in the town s new 1940s-themed cafe.
For Teas is decked out as if it was still the Second World War.
The cafe, on the corner of North Street and High Street, has furniture, furnishings, crockery and memorabilia from the period.
There is Union Flag bunting, a wood-burning stove and even a brick-walled outside toilet – but thankfully the facilities inside are modern-day.
For Teas is the brainchild of Janet, who who has long been fascinated by the period.
She said: “I was doing bridalwear for 28 years and I started making 1940s hats out of old bras.
“I grew up with Big Band music. My mum and dad used to go ballroom dancing to the Big Band sound.”
The former Asian clothes shop was transformed into a 1940s coffee bar by heating engineer Brian Ley and his sons, tiler Daryl and electrician Elliot.
For Teas was due to be officially opened today by Keighley mayor George Metcalf, with First World War and Home Guard re-enactors in attendance.
