Synopsis
Leeds in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies is a fascinating collection of photographs of the city, from the archives of the Yorkshire Evening Post. Although the book covers a comparatively recent chapter in Leeds’s history, the changes in the city have been dramatic. In the 1950s the buildings of Leeds were black with soot, and mill chimneys still dotted the landscape. Steam trains and trams transported people around the city, while those with motor cars could drive up and park outside the city’s department stores without charge. By the end of the 1970s the city was already a very different place, and the pace of change has continued unabated. Buildings have been demolished or remodelled, traffic has been redirected along the inner relief road, reducing congestion in the city centre, and the blackened buildings and mill chimneys have almost disappeared. The people of Leeds also appear in these pages: tradesmen, office workers, postmen, millworkers, shoppers – all aspects of daily life in the city are documented. The images in Leeds in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies are sure to bring back memories for many Leeds residents and will provide the younger generation with an insight into how the modern city has developed from its industrial past.
