These wonderful photos raise a glass to a decade of memories from around Hunslet in the 1950s. The main photo showcases a pub which will be remembered by generations of drinkers around the suburb. The Junction Hotel was a popular watering hole during the decade and beyond before it was eventually converted to flats. A total of 14 photos make up this gallery of memories with shops and street scenes all in focus. The images are a mix from West Yorkshire Archive Service and published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
