Memorable photos take you back to Morley in 1968

These photos put the memorable into Morley as they showcase a year in the life of the town.

They turn back the clock to 1968 and bring into focus local landmarks as well as shops and street scenes which are sure to evoke memories for a generation of people who called Morley home back in the day. The main image shows Wesleyan Sunday School and Institute Building on Queen Street pictured during the last few days of its existence. The notices on the front of the building include confirmation that the site had been purchased by Tesco for building a new supermarket. The gallery is made up of 30 images from the David Atkinson Archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
