Brigandish photos take you back to Burmantofts in the 1990s

This wonderful collection of photos charts a decade of memories from around Burmantofts.

They turn back the clock to the 1990s and bring into focus a range of familiar faces at the heart of the local community as well as well known landmarks, schools and shops. The photos are sure to resonate with a generation of former residents who called LS9 home back in the day. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others 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.
