The collection of images starts with a boozer which will be remembered by generations of former residents. The landlord made ice cream on the premises which was then sold around community on his bike. The photo is one of 24 charting the decade with landmarks, street scenes and shops all in focus. The images are a mix from West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.

A lady stands in the doorway of a house on Orchard Way in October 1958. Above the door of the house next door is a plaque. This plaque appears to be too large for a datestone and may be connected to the former South Accommodation Congregational Church which these houses faced onto. | West Yorkshire Archive Service Photo: West Yorkshire Archive Service
