These photos feature a whistle stop tour of memories from all four corners of Leeds – from Collingham and Pudsey through to Halton and Woodhouse as well as the city centre. They are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
