Syndicate leader Eileen Johnson pours the drinks for her colleagues at M & E Johnson in Armley after they scooped £102,601 on The National Lottery. It was a slice of good fortune which Armley and its residents enjoyed during the 1990s. Other 'good news' during the decade included asbestos campaigner June Hancock winning her legal fight and St Bartholomew's Church being awarded £300,000 to fund repairs. These photos, plucked from the YEP archive, also feature familiar faces as well as shops and pubs you may remember. READ MORE: Memories of Armley and Bramley during the 1960s and 1970s LOVE LEEDS?
