‘The Leeds Approach’ was an £8.5 million scheme to ease congestion and help traffic flow. The plan involved banning vehicles from travelling along The Headrow - except buses. This was 1974 and the main image is one of 34 charting the 12 months in the life of the city. They feature city centre landmarks and Leeds United highlights as well as memories from the city suburbs with Chapeltown, Hunslet, Oulton, Bramley and Hyde Park all in focus.
