The photos showcase life around the suburb during the decade and bring in to focus boozers which welcomed generations of drinkers. Factories and shops are also featured in this trip down memory lane which is sure to evoke memories for those who called Drig home back in the day. The photos are a mix from the David Atkinson Archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
