The Baptist Church on Littlemoor Road. The sign by the entrance showing service times shows this to be the Littlemoor Baptist Church while the advertising hoarding on the far left calls it the Pudsey Baptist Church. Religious posters on display read 'In God is my salvation and my refuge', 'Fear God and keep the commandments', 'Our God is able to deliver', 'What shall it profit a man if he gain the world and lose his soul'. | Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
