Leeds in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies

The Yorkshire Evening Post has been serving the people of Leeds and beyond since the closing years of the 19th century. It has reported on the lives of many generations of Yorkshire people, standing up time and again for its readers and the city at its heart. The Yorkshire Evening Post is one of the UK's largest regional newspapers, reflecting both the importance of the area it covers and the loyalty of its readers. For many homes in Leeds and Yorkshire, the day is not complete without the Evening Post. This book is a selection of images taken by staff photographers showing the physical and social changes in the city during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. From bustling streets full of shopping queues and vintage motors to the characters of yesteryear, this book vividly depicts this marvellous city as we once knew it.
