This wonderful collection of photos turns back the clock to 1902 and brings into focus the hustle and bustle of life in the city centre before heading out into the suburbs with Rothwell, Sheepscar and Knostrop in focus. The images are a mix from the Thoresby Society and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.

Wheat Sheaf Yard in March 1902. In the foreground is the premises of Thomas Clowes Stereotypers and Electrotypers, although this is now empty. The yard is surrounded by 2-storey brick-built buildings, most of which are derelict. Some are possibly being used for stabling as there are hay bales and horse droppings in the picture. On the right of the picture is a cart. | Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
