The gallery turns back the clock to the 1930s and brings into focus life around Buslingthorpe, which falls within the Little London and Woodhouse ward. Street scenes, shops and pubs all come under the spotlight as well as local landmarks. The photos 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.
