They turn back the clock to the 1960s and bring into focus life around Little London, so called because in the 19th century it had fashionable housing and interesting architecture comparable to London. Shops and local landmarks are in focus as well as familiar streets including Clay Pit Lane. The collection of 10 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.
