Leeds Civic Trust Photography Archives: 22 Photos From The Streets of Leeds 1950s – 1960s
Leeds has a distinct and attractive built heritage, from its beginnings as a trading centre for cloth through its development as an industrial city to its current status as a regional capital. Its medieval origins, its Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, its streets and arcades, all contribute to that distinctive character.
