Evocative photos celebrate life in Hunslet during the 1950s

These wonderfully evocative photos bring to life a decade of memories in Hunslet.

They rewind to the 1950s and feature together rows and rows of back to backs on streets generations of people called home as well as landmarks, shops and pubs from a decade of change. They are published courtesy of West Yorkshire Archive Service and photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
