Derelict buildings of Woodlands Dyeworks on Wood Lane in Meanwood shortly before demolition in July 1975 . Known as Crowther's Mill and previously Rowley's Mill and Wood's Mill, there is believed to have been a mill on the site since 1601. The building in the foreground here was also more recently occupied by Faller Signs, sign makers and writers. In 1974 Leeds City Council took over the site and the mill was subsequently demolished.

Kitty Lister and her staff are pictured on the day of her retirement from the family butcher's business in Bramley in Juky 1975. Lister's English Meat Purveyors on Lower Town Street, can seen in the background. The shop had originally been run by her parents, Harry and Emma (nee Shaw) Lister. It was located on the corner with Farrar's Yard. Her Uncle Walter also ran a butcher's shop, for 52 years, at number 266 Upper Town Street, on the corner with Bell Lane. Kitty Lister's shop was subject to a compulsory purchase order in 1975 to make way for new development in that part of Town Street. She was eventually relocated to a flat in Snowden Fold, located across the road. Kitty was a well-known character in Bramley and an active supporter of Bramley Rugby Union League Football Club. She died in the May of 2002. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
