The gallery of memories bring into focus local landmarks such as East Leeds Working Men's Club as well as well known community areas given nicknames by locals including 'the quarry' which housed an assortment of piggeries, hen runs and stables. 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.
