That picture of Jeff Skinner's first scrap yard is crazy. now he is a multi millionaire from his skips

my mother worked at the western and the malt shovel was one of my locals 70s loved that trip down memory lane

I recognise quite a lot of them

Yes saw junior school on Stanningley Road called Castleton school where I use to go just in front of Armley Prison which is not there now, that was 58 years ago and been living in Bournemouth area for past 40 years.

The prison...looked like a lovely castle  lol  wow..met my 1st husband in the very early 60s..that was at the roller skating rink...on mugs alley...hubby's dad was a prison officer...many moons ago lol

Very good and nice to see all these picture. But I found the music just did not suit and was distracting.

Guy with the brush on armley town street was known as singing willy remember him well as a kid in the 60s

0:44 Jeff (and Alan) Skinner's yard next to The Victoria Club behind the Holy Family School, God that takes me back.  Lived around that area from 1962 - 1977 first in the Avenues then on Butts Mount.

Thanks so much for  this! I l grew up in Leeds  and was a student in Armely (in the "Chumbawumba house" which can clearly be seen in sevral of the old Armley shots.

The building at 4:35 looks like an annex up wesley road past the library where we used to learn woodwork as I recall. And the old school with the clock tower at 4:55 is I think what we called the "clock school" where we (boys) learned cooking and sewing, with Mrs Sawyer, just before middle schools came in.  I think it's offices now.

Thank you so much for sharing, really interesting. I grew up in the 60's in Armley and recognise quite a few. Many thanks ☺

Does anyone remember Hargreaves CornMerchant and petshop on Elland Road, Meadow Lane, Leeds in the mid-1950s? They used to have a parrot outside the shop in summer.

Leeds is an overcrowded filthy mess today,
I took a drive around the city  the other day! jeez! what have they done to the place?!!
the skyline is cheap,  badly planned & nasty-
the old worldly Leeds of domes & spires has has been devoured by monumental 'flatpack' style ugliness with zero  thought other than profit!  
it's the UK's 4th dirtiest city,  the 3rd worst in the country for inequality/child poverty levels & one of the worst in the nation for air pollution!
a quarter of the population live in poverty
yet all the Evening post does is harp on about Harvey Nicks, friends of ham & all this London of the north nonsense?!  
all the finery is lathered on the surface, it's just bullshit!
the real Leeds is a very different story.

1:56 Armley Town Street. Missed that one before sorry singing Willy👍

Guy with brush armley town street.

A lot of Armley

The 3rd pic is The Star pub in Armley too am sure of it.

The photos from 1:03 to 1:38 all look like Armley with St Barts church in the background
