Many of the streets featured in this gallery of memories charting a year in the life of Armley in the mid 1960s now have no name. 1966 is the focus on this trip down memory lane and brings under the spotlight shops and streets which will be familiar to a generation of those who called the suburb home back in the day. They also may bring a tear to the eye with row upon row of terraced housing demolished in the community as part of slum clearance plans. The photos are published courtesy of West Yorkshire Archive Service, which collects and looks after the unique documentary heritage of the region dating from the 12th century to the present day - more than 800 years of local history. It also runs Catablogue, an online blog dedicated to preserving the past, serving the present and protecting the future.
