The comedy legends stopped off at Bond Street shopping precinct in October 1974 after having performed at Wakefield Theatre Club.. The photo is one of 27 charting the year in the life of the city and its residents. Away from the city centre the photos take you around the suburbs with Armley, Bramley, Chapeltown, Headingley, Hunslet and Otley. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
