1970 will also be remembered by Leeds and its residents as a 12 months of celebrity visits, concerts to remember and a new era for transport. The steam era had given way to the diesel age with Leeds at the heart of the revolution. Elsewhere it proved the end of an era for a mining colliery on the outskirts of the city.
