An aerial view of Meanwood from Woodhouse Ridge, looking across a rugby ground and fields towards Grove Lane running along the bottom in June 1973. The Meanwood Hotel public house is on the bottom right at the junction with Meanwood Road. Bentley Lane runs up on the far left with Bentley Primary School on its right hand side, while Stainbeck Road runs up on the right. Much of the housing in between the two, mainly terraces, has since been demolished and replaced by semi-detached housing. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net

Morley's Windsor Court shopping precinct pictured in August 1973 which had opened around 10 weeks before Christmas in 1972. The flat roofed shops are on the site of Windsor House and other buildings in Albion Street, hence the name of the precinct Windsor Court. The neatly laid out gardens with flowing water features did not last much longer due to vandalism. Photo: David Atkinson Archive
