Row upon row of back-to-backs dominate the images which are punctuated with views of local landmarks such as cafes and schools which will be remembered by generations of those who called LS9 during the decade.

3. Cross Green in focus
Easy Road in 1969. A baby in a pushchair is on the pavement outside one of the red brick terraced homes. This is perhaps May Grove. Behind the fencing is the railway line that ran from Waterloo Pit at Temple Newsam to the coal staith (Waterloo Main Colliery Depot) at the junction of Easy Road and Cross Green Lane. The 'Paddy train' transported coal from the colliery to the depot where the coal merchants would then distribute it to local households. The train also transported the colliery workers to and from the pit at the beginning and end of their shift. Photo: Eric Jaquier
