The five friends are, from left, Danny Gardner, Michael Allotey, Peter Shaw, Neil Higginbottom and Graham Turner. This photo is one of 14 celebrating life around Leeds in 1973. It was a year which saw parking charges introduced in the city centre for the first time on a Saturday. And motorists in Leeds were rationed to a maximum of £1.50 worth as the city and beyond became caught up in Britain's first oil price crisis. These images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.

The Time Ball Buildings on Lower Briggate. The premises were home to John Dyson & Sons, watchmakers, repairers, and jewellers, founded in 1865. On the front of the buildings are two clocks, one of which bears the words 'John Dyson 25 & 26', with the Time Ball above. The ball would drop daily at exactly 1pm Greenwich Mean Time, until the practice stopped in 1924. | Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
