The 1950s is the direction of travel for this trip down memory lane charting a decade in the life of Bramley and its residents. A range of local landmarks as well as familiar streets are featured in our gallery of memories from around LS13. They include Wellington Grove, Broad Lane, Bell Lane, Bywater Row, Coppy Lane, Leeds-Bradford Road, the Moorside estate and Bramley Fall Woods. The images are 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.
