Old Burley - how times have changed!

One of the resources available to community heritage projects in Leeds is the amazing Leodis web site www.leodis.net which contains thousands of historic photos of houses, shops, factories and people - and much more. The person responsible for this remarkable archive is Rose Gibson and she has been incredibly helpful in pinning down the copyright permission to use the images, many of which will appear in the film.

One of the lovely photos we have found of old Burley is an old postcard which shows what it was like in the early 1900s when its village origins were still clear!
