The 1970s is the destination for this trip down memory lane charting a decade in the life of Cross Green and its residents. The area lies in the LS9 postcode area between Osmondthorpe, Richmond Hill and Hunslet. And this gallery brings into focus landmarks, pubs and well-travelled streets all of which will be familiar to a generation of the local community from back in the day. 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.
