They showcase a year in the life of the suburb in 1964 and bring into focus all aspects of daily life from pubs and corner shops through to off-licenes and fish and chips.

The images are a mix from West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
