What lovely work shows how things have changed just shows there are some good things you can do with photography these days as well i didnt come to leeds till the early 90's and love looking at how places around the Leeds area used to look will subscribe and look at the other things you have done awesome
Just watched this with my 90 year old Dad who grew up in Harehills but moved to work in Birmingham in the late '60s and he loved it, 'even brought a tear to his eye when the Clock came up as that's where he met my Mum. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for sharing I'm glad your dad liked it and may I wish him well from a fellow Harehills boy. If you look on my youtube account I also have two other videos which are just Harehills, I'm sure there will be lots more memories for your dad.
Thank Y❤U Betty I enjoyed this. It’s like seeing a village/town morph into a major city. Loved the Fleetwood Mac.❤ Just realised your initials are BS.🤭
Fascinating,especially the pre Arcadian Shambles,Leeds has little going for ,hence my early departure,save for its architecture and the fact that ,more through luck than management,it's past has been preserved.This video was so well executed that I want to see more
I've lived in Leeds all my life and lived and worked in Hunslet, Belle Isle, Middleton, Beeston, Cottingley, and Holbeck, etc. Currently, I live about a mile from Middleton woods and 'Miggie Park'. Middleton woods is an ancient woodland going back to at least 1066, and there's such a lot of history surrounding Leeds, including coal mining and the oldest working steam railway in the world. From a very young age, I used to go shopping with my mother to Leeds market on a Saturday, and other shops in the City Centre. I remember the tramcars. They stopped running round about 1959. It was Saturday when I rode on one of the last trams at Middleton, near the Middleton Arms pub. I was 9 years old at the time and living in Middleton! I also remember the new platform buses that replaced the trams the very next day on Sunday. When they first came out, they were brand new and looked so posh, and you could smell the newness of the seats on them. Those were the days...gone forever-;)
Ah yes the Owl Inn,preferred it to the Barge.I lived up Bagley Lane next to Elgies shop,1 Mary Street,left there in 1982,good memories,Went to Farsley Farfield school,then Pudsey Grammar from 69-74,was a fireman for 24 years in Leeds,S Africa,and Scotland
Yes Trippy ..My mum is 84 and grew up in Holbeck Hunslet Beeston areas I took her back recently it broke her heart ..we lived near Bewler Street infants where I went to school ..it has been replaced by modern housing projects and they are a no go zone absolutely disgusting conditions ..it used to be hard times back then circa 1960 but it was a genuine community very very sad how the world has changed ...
My mother too lived in Holbeck around the early 1900s near bewler street school..she attended either st Francis s or st. Joseph's ..she lived in Galway street after alpha street...your mother would remember them. God bless them both
@@PK-yf3hd wonderful , I went to Bueler street infants , we lived on Westwood Street a few rows away from the school , all gone now , mum is still hanging in there at 88 , small world fella 👍
Not bad if i say so but.... You would of been better doing a before and after then at least we could apprieciate the true architecture of just how much Leeds has changed.
I know those places in harehills intimately...being 75 ,I grew up there..I found the modern overlay of images confusing and gratuitous...bit well done otherwise
Cheers David, I did 3 similar videos as I was just playing with imovies at the time, they’re nothing special and as you say they don’t cover all of Leeds. I can only apologise. If you go on Facebook there will be an Headingley page or if you go on Leodis there are hundreds of images..........enjoy.
David Colley there are many words I could use in response to your comment and one of them is Idiot. I’d hardly describe someone’s hobby as utter rubbish, if you don’t like a video, a dislike is more than sufficient.

Bring back memories,another twenty years from now it will be so different again.Thankyou for these lovely clips 😊
Well done! Thoroughly enjoyed it as a born and bred Leeds lad, now living the bit that's left in Spain.
Brilliant photos I'm nearing 70 now and remember some of the images, obviously some are a lot older but a lovely collection

Well executed and put together & wonderful music. Loved this thank you.
Looks like a lot of time invested! Well done

That was a really nice vid. The layering of past and present made it more interesting to watch. Well done! I enjoyed that.
So many people and so many places been and gone forever!
Enjoyed your video loved the blending of old with new.
Excellent, brought back a lot of memories. Thank you.
The opening music soundtrack is Concerto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo. Albatross by Fleetwood Mac comes in more than halfway through.
Thank you for this, very enjoyable, the perspective in the blending was well executed.

Exceelent footage and excellent music but the two do not go together
Thanks, I noticed it is duplicated later. Not that familiar with Horsforth.
I remember going to the clock cinema to watch the Saturday matinee around 1972 ish
I was probably in there with you :)
Brilliant!!!

Not bad if i say so but.... You would of been better doing a before and after then at least we could apprieciate the true architecture of just how much Leeds has changed.
How long did this take 😮
Hi Harry, a couple of hours but I was just playing at the time. Its ok but must do better as my old English teacher use to say 😉
Beach music to represent old Hunslet hmmm ...
The picture of Aberford has Edwardian women and children in it and modern cars, how is that ?.
It's a ghost!
What location is 1.34?
Its at Horsforth, New Rd side looking up Manor Rd and probably taken from Calverly Lane. :)
I know those places in harehills intimately...being 75 ,I grew up there..I found the modern overlay of images confusing and gratuitous...bit well done otherwise
Great video, hare hills still a s**t hole
This isn’t willne’s old channel
Dont understand your question?
Its mainly Harehills and that end of Leeds. No photos of Headingley etc, utter rubbish
