Trams take centre stage as well as city centre landmarks such as City Square in this collection of images which also feature memories of Children’s Day and life around the suburbs including Woodhouse and York Road. The photos 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.
