Burley - famous again!

One of the fascinating things we discovered was that other people have found Burley unique character to be of real interest. One of the oral history interviewees brought in a photograph of herself taken many years ago by a well known Swiss photographer, Eric Jaquier. As a young man Eric lived in England for a while and took many lovely photographs of Burley (and other parts of Leeds) in the late 1960s.  Over 20 of his photographs are available on the Leodis website and on his own web site.  Click to see Eric's own photos here: and the Leodis collection here.
