South Leeds retro: Bustling photos that take you back to Beeston in the 1930s

These wonderful photos put the brilliant into Beeston as a they chart a decade in the life of the south Leeds suburb. They turn back the clock to the 1930s and bring into focus a range of shops, local landmarks and familiar streets. Leeds Speedway Track at Elland Road is also featured as well as Millshaw Beck. The images 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.
