This wonderful collection of photos are sure to evoke memories for a generation of people who called Bramley home in the 1970s. They turn the spotlight on local landmarks with Bramley Shopping Centre and Bramley Middle School both featured as well as street scenes including the Fairfield estate. The gallery also includes memories of stories making the headlines including volunteer vandal watchers at a block of flats in the community. The photos are published from the Yorkshire Evening Post with some never been seen before having being digitised for the first time.
