Changing Leeds - Walk down The Headrow through the decades

It's the historic gem which forms a spine across Leeds city centre.

These photos spanning the decades showcase the changing face of The Headrow which runs for half a mile between between Westgate and Eastgate. These rarely-seen images are 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. Enjoy this look at life on one of the city centre's most famous thoroughfares down the decades.
