Corner shops to cafes are in focus as is Town Street which remains at the heart of the community to this day. Rows of back to back houses also dominate the images and are punctuated with scenes of factory life which provided employment to a generation of local people. The photos are published courtesy of West Yorkshire Archive Service, which collects and looks after the unique documentary heritage of the region dating from the 12th century to the present day - more than 800 years of local history. It also runs Catablogue, an online blog dedicated to preserving the past, serving the present and protecting the future. READ MORE: Memories of lost Leeds pubs in Pudsey and Stanningley LOVE LEEDS?
