Leeds city centre nostalgia: Fab photo memories of Briggate and the tram

These tram-tastic photo memories point in the same direction of travel.

They showcase life on the trams trundling along the tracks on Briggate in Leeds city centre during the heyday of the mode of transport until the last time they ran at the end of the1950s. They are a mix from the YEP archive and others 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.
