This landmark is sure to evoke memories for generation of those who called Hunslet home in the mid 1960s. Christ Church on Meadow Lane was the first of the Million Churches built in Leeds, so called because of a special Government grant of £1,000,000 which was used to build over 600 churches across the country. This photo was taken in 1965 just seven years before the church , constructed between 1823 and 1826 of Bramley Fall stone, disappeared from the skyline. It is one of 10 images showcasing life around the south Leeds suburb during the year. The gallery also features memories of scullery houses. A scullery was a very small room with a water supply used for food preparation and other household tasks. It was situated next to the living room where originally the cooking of family meals would have taken place. The photos are a mix from the YEP archive, West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
