South Leeds nostalgia: Photo memories take you back to Hunslet in 1968

Traffic, transport and travel fuel this photo gallery focusing on a year in the life of Hunslet at the back end of the 1960s.

The photos are sure to resonate with motorists who travelled around the streets of the suburb during 1968 with petrol stations, garage, and junctions as well as a car wash all in focus. The images are powered by the YEP archive and others 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 take you back to Hunslet in 1964 LOVE LEEDS?
