Used to work opposite Heatons' clothing factory. We used to ring up and make dates with the girls in the admin section. The switchboard operator was very understanding. I worked at a grain merchants'office on the third floor, and we used to drop beans on passing girls. They always blamed the pigeons.
Who remembers the garage in the middle of the roundabout at the bottom of the Headrow,,ps Lewis ,s department store did the best roast ham of the bone ,2 rounds after getting home from the match👍😀
Thanks for uploading this video, my grandparents used to live in All Saints Place, which was behind York Road Baths, as a little boy I remember watching the stokers stoking the boilers at the back of the baths building. Remember also riding on the trams, the tracks were uneven and the tramcars used to sway side to side quite alarmingly - great fun for a small boy! Ah, wonderful memories of a great city. FYI, I'm 76 years old now.
Great stuff: St Patrick's RC Church, Shaftesbury cinema, Quarry Hill Flats, double -decker trams "stately as a galleon", etc.; but sad. Appropriate subtitle: "How a city was sacrificed to the car and road schemes in the '60s"? Regards to compiler and viewers from an exiled Leeds lad, born 1955.
@@jamiehoward5538 The long pale building before Lewis's is Central Garage, there was a big Austin sign at the other end of it. I don't know anything about the red brick building. All of the buildings in the picture (except Lewis's) were demolished around the late 60's and the land became a car park for over a decade until St. John's Shopping Centre was built on it.
Thanks Paul! Do you know what year the last picture was ( colour + road leading down from what is now the wrens pub) cheers. Those great buildings should have been kept..!

The Dog and Gunn ,great pub once upon a time and Torry Road Police Station ,I went there for a job interviewway back when,
Used to go to York Road Baths 70 years ago. I now live in New Zealand, but I can still smell the chlorine. It is a wonder they didn''t poison us.
Thanks for this video It's nice to see it from days gone by and some lovely buildings. Not all progress is good progress
How did they ever get away with destroying those beautiful buildings at the end? Absolutely shameful!
unbelievable
Agree. Terrible.
I never knew a tram line ran along their

They should never have got rid of the trams . They should have upgraded and extended them.
