It is one of 16 photo gems which turn back the clock to 1961 and provide a fascinating insight into life around LS10 during the year. Washing on lines hung across streets sand tin baths pushed up against a wall help foster a sense of a period of time which memories cannot erase. Local landmarks also featured include the Albert Glass Works and The Queen Hotel one of 52 public houses in Hunslet by the late 1930s as well as familiar streets demolished as part of slum clearance.
