The reason? It was the year commercial flights started from Leeds and Bradford Airport. And the first photo from our gallery provides a bird’s eye view of the city. It is one of 16 images showcasing a year in the life of Leeds and its residents. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
