Description

Despite what journalists chose to highlight, the gas lamps in Woodhouse still had work to do because the streets were not empty of life.

Some houses were boarded up but many – often next door – were still family homes, albeit in the last years of occupation.

Shops were still open, the washing lines swung in the wind across the streets where the children were playing, the cats and dogs sunbathed on doorsteps.

They were a fertile source for photographs. In the 1960s and 1970s the suburbs of Woodhouse were undergoing a sweeping transformation from groups of back-to-back terraces to late-twentieth century houses amid green spaces.

Chronicling this period of change was a student with a camera. The Lost Back-to-Back Streets of Leeds tells the story of Woodhouse's shifting urban landscape through pictures and the meticulous research behind them.

At their heart are not just houses and shops, but also the people who lived or worked in them in a time of such great change.
