The gallery features everything from shops on Street Lane, a bird’s eve view of the local road network and differing aspects of life in and around Roundhay Park during the decade. The 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.
