These turn back the clock to celebrate life around the south Leeds suburb during the 1960s. It was the decade which featured the community being used as the backdrop for film This Sporting Life and pub culture playing a big part in the life of residents who called Drig home back in the day. The images are a mix from the David Atkinson Archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
