This main photo was used as part of a Yorkshire Evening Post supplement called ‘Changing Leeds’ at the back end of the 1960s. The Dexter was hailed as an example of the latest type of luxuriously appointed pubs around the city where the ‘accent is on soft lights and sweet music in addition to its catering.’ The image forms part of a mini gallery of memories charting a decade -the 1960s - in the life of Shadwell and its residents.
