The area lies in the LS9 postcode area between Osmondthorpe, Richmond Hill and Hunslet. And this gallery brings into focus landmarks, pubs and well-travelled streets all of which will be familiar to a generation of the local community from back in the day. The images are a mix from West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
