The Bridge Inn on Kirkstall Bridge is the first in a long line of landmarks in focus from around the community. Others include Kirkstall Forge, Kirkstall Power Station, Kirkstall Road and of course Kirkstall Abbey. The images are a mix from the YEP archive, West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
