Safety concerns at the junction where Tongue Lane, Church Lane and Parkside Road converged prompted local councillors to join residents in protest. This photo is one of 23 memories charting a decade in the life of Meanwood and its residents. The 1990s will also be remembered by many in the community as a time when a local landmark came crashing down. The chimney of Highbury Works, formerly Meanwood Tannery, made of brick with red painted reinforcing steel straps, which had been a focal point for generations was demolished. These gems feature different aspects of ten years of life in the community, from schools and sport through to fundraising and fun as well as loads of familiar faces. Spotted anyone you remember? They are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
