The gallery brings into focus well-trodden streets – from Barrack Road to Meanwood Road – as well as pubs and the factories which employed a local workforce during the decade. The images are published courtesy of West Yorkshire Archive Service, which collects and looks after the unique documentary heritage of the region dating from the 12th century to the present day - more than 800 years of local history. It also runs Catablogue, an online blog dedicated to preserving the past, serving the present and protecting the future. READ MORE: Photo gems celebrate life in Sheepscar during the 1950s LOVE LEEDS?
