West Leeds: Photo gems showcase life before Bramley shopping centre

These photo memories celebrate a decade in the life of Bramley before the development of the shopping centre.

They showcase pubs, shops and landmarks around the community during the 1960s and focus on a decade of social and economic change for LS13 and beyond. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of West Yorkshire Archive Service and photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
