This photo shows the extreme western end of the Inner Ring Road at Westgate roundabout. The final phase of the ring road - from Westgate roundabout to Wellington Place - was expected to e started at the back end of 1971. This photo is one of 24 memories charting a year in the life of the city and its residents. City centre landmarks - including an unusual view of Leeds General Infirmary featuring all four extensions made to the original building - are featured as well as memories from the suburbs. The photos are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
