They all feature in this wonderful collection of photos charting a decade in the life of Hyde Park and its residents in the 1970s. It also showcases row upon row of terraced houses which were home to a generation of locals back in the day. Many of the streets were demolished in the mid 1970s as the winds of change swept through the inner city suburb. These photos are a mix from the YEP archive, West Yorkshire Archive Service and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
