All four corners of Leeds are featured in these wonderful aerial shots of the city taken in 1953. They showcase a city from above at a time the rationing of sweets, introduced during World War II, ended, while The Good Old Days, filmed at the Leeds City Varieties, began its 30-year run on BBC Television. This wonderful collection is powered using photos from the Yorkshire Evening Post archive. READ MORE: 16 photo gems of Leeds trams during the 1950s LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?
