A superb piece, evoking many happy memories. Many thanks!

I’m T-total, but I love the old alleyways of Leeds. They’re like “time capsules.” Just imagine the stories they could tell.

Thank God for the flood 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I'm sure the Odean had a Wurltzer organ that came up 'out of the floor'. It wasn't played very often.

In my childhood in the fifties there was an underground public toilet, the entrance to which was in the centre of Briggate at the Boar Lane junction. It had an attendant who kept the doors and their brass locks highly polished. There was a washroom section where you could have a "wash and brushup" for 3 old pence, or six old pence, I can’t remember which. I'm wondering what remains of it underground. At the same location was a Tardis style Leeds City Police police box. I can remember seeing Tommy Steel at the Empire, and later Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane, Joe Brown and Billy Fury who were on a UK tour. Eddie Cochrane was killed a couple of weeks later near Bath. One architecturally interesting building you didn't mention is the Thornton India Rubber Manufacturer building adjoining M & S. I’ve often wondered about its story. Must 'look it up' sometime. Your video brought back some memories. I very rarely go to the city centre these days. It's been ruined. Cheers.

Interesting video. My Nan's family lived on Parkfield Yard, which is now one of the traffic islands at Dewsbury Road bottoms

My mum said that when they demolished QH that there was something dodgy and that someone had plans. So when the DWP building went up she said "told you "

Olaaay, Olaaay, Olaaay Olaaay……..Call Lane, Call Lane……..

Thanks for showing us Trinity Church interior. What a beautiful old building. I’m glad it wasn’t pulled it down.✝️

Yes brilliant insight into the former Station Site.. I own an apartment in Westpoint which is right on the footprint of the Passenger Station

I lived in the Thwaite Gate area in the 60's and will always rememberLCC promising the Stourton residents that they had no plans to turn Stourton into an industrial area Ithink they were all lined to Terry Bourne

Before the Alternative and Alternative 2 takeaway was the very first kebab shop, Costas. This was situated where Alternative 2 ended up. These were the best kababs ever. Pitta bread cooked over the coals and the meat, hand cooked and caught in a half a frying pan. Bloody big chunks not wafer thin like it is today.

Excellent. Interesting. Informative. As alway! Thank You.

I went to St Charles school opposite St Mary's church and remember it being knocked down. Someone played the organ, possibly for the last time, just before demolition began and you could hear it clearly in the school. Subsequently I have been for a pint in the City of Mabgate and the Black Horse before they closed down. Must go for another look around the area again

Litchfields .. opposite stumps .. and the big pub opposite the town hall ? It was circus circus at one point? Conservatory Triples for a £1 in sunset and vine 😊

Rothwell has a big field called "The field of Pots", in the left as you head out to Carlton. The soil is full of broken bits of pottery. In not sure of its history but there was a pottery between Woodlesford and Thwaite mills and it may be connected with that. The theory being that wet, clay soil would benefit from broken bits or pottery being dug in to dry the soil out I have also read that there may be a Romanary Gypsy connection as this field was a traditional camping place. Just food for thought. Perhaps you could find out more and do a vid on it please.

What! No Scrumpies!!?? No Headrow crawl? No pubs or clubs that were FUN?? What a sanitised view! I'm guessing, rather confidently, that you didn't actually LIVE IT? Leeds Polly! Brannigans when it became ROCK for a period with separate nights for the gays. FROG AND TOAD, but then again, that was Bradford lol. Ah well. Such is the woke, sanitised version of history now. After all. Long hair and Black Leather Jackets are always evil.

Very interesting

Lived in Leeds since 1971. Always fascinated with your videos, you explain so well 👍

Fascinating video and very informative, Never realised there was a church there in the past. Very interesting.

Really interesting. Many thanks for sharing. Nice mention of Adel Church I was married there a very long time ago. …………

Brilliant!

Always look forward to your videos!

Fascinating as usual! Thankyou! 👏🏻👏🏻

I was just walking down past st james church a few hours ago 💀

I wasn't aware a big church was in the York Street area. My ancesters the Corcorans lived very near to St James, in Wellington Yard off Kirkgate and later Somerset Street practically over the road off York Street. Don't think they would have attended the church, they were one one many Irish families, living and working in this area. Thanks for the interesting video.

Literally walked down that street yesterday and had no idea! Thanks for the great informative videos.

Tyneside has a grade separated rapid transit system that reduce congestion and are safer and quicker than the trams of Manchester and Sheffield.

Things have moved on. HS2 has been cancelled and the trolley bus system was stopped due to causing more congestion. The only viable system now is a grade separated rapid transit on viaducts to match London, i.e., the Docklands Light Railway.

No Dutches? Whaaaaattttttt?

No Conservatory? whaaaatttt?

Went in Lens bar a lot as it was close to our office, didn’t even realise the building had been knocked down. When I started working in Leeds, back in the early 90’s there wasn’t the choice there is now, it was quite poor in a way, compared to other cities.

Leeds could have had many more interesting possibilities had Leeds developed, expanded and maintained its canals, railways, Trams in addition to roads.

My mum lived there in the 50s and 60s she as great memories of the flats

The old views are much better than the dreary vistas of today.

So many memories from the galas, fishing, wedding do’s at the mansion a real treasure of Leeds

I remember them building the YEP building. I used to go past it on my way to work and back. So many years ago.

SOULESS PLACE NOW RUINED!!!!

Wasnt there a small nightclub under the queens hotel too

My old man lived there when Queenie was there . Never a dull moment . 😂

Your videos are invaluable, thank you

Great video
