The photos showcase a community at work, rest and play. Local landmarks are featured as well as pubs, shops and well travelled streets which will be familiar to a generation of people show called LS10 home back in the day. The images are published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
