Remember watching Born Free at the Capitol cinema and getting my hair cut with Syd the barber on the same parade of shops. Long since flattened and now a Waitrose. And walking across the seven arches as a teenager.
My father and his brother ran the Meanwood laundry in the chapel building in the 50's and 60's.I used to walk there from our house in Weetwood Lane via the tannery which always smelled horrible!
Although everyone referred to the place as a tannery it was worse than that. It was a fellmongers and I remember on some summer days the smell was enough to make me retch🤮
Hey at 4.56ish there's a shop on Bentley Lane which is now a house, where did you find this photo? I've searched for years and can't find it somehow!! I can't believe i happened to watch your video and find it! I recently lived there
Well, that could have been better. Many photographs were visible for less than a second, making it difficult to see anything. The sequence was pretty much random, except where we got several trams in succession, and a number of photos appeared twice. And in very few photos was there any kind of explanation of what we were seeing, and that only because someone had written it on a photo or it was a postcard. It would have been better to have grouped photos by different parts of Meanwood, from Adel down to Sugarwell Works, and a caption to each photo saying where it was taken, looking in which direction, what landmarks are visible, and roughly when it was taken. And, since a number of photos show the white houses which were built after 1919 to be Homes Fit For Heroes, a short explanation of that - and of when they were demolished - would have been helpful. They were still here when I first came to Meanwood, and I remember how large their gardens were.
