My grandmother was selina brooks born 1912 in hunslet to Elizabeth brooks and William Pearson (unmarried, as William was separated from wife Ann Shellam). Selina married John Johnson in Armley in 1945 and they moved to Wortley, where most of their children were born, then Chapeltown. I'm not researching the brooks on this site as they were from London and previously Devon, but anyone in Yorkshire connected to the Pearsons or johnsons. William Pearsons parents were selina and James.

Further updates please

More updates are required please

A great reliable local news hub I’d love to see more displayed online would be a great help

Good morning

I’m researching Leeds Utd famous European cup win in the 1970s post these years please

Publish more dates

A great resource for Leeds News and Events

Shame you severely lack in depth Leeds newspapers coverage hopefully it’s something you can change the situation very soon

I worked in Holbeck in about 1963/64 and used to catch my bus home at the bottom of Domestic Street or, sometimes, I would walk up because there were so many shops. At that time the streets were clean and the houses well kept. Housewives still swept outside their houses and washed the flags, and donkey stoned the steps. There was pride. Now? I don't think I would care to walk up Domestic Street at all. It is senseless to destroy perfectly good properties when a fraction of the cost of demolition and replacement would cover necessary upgrades.

We need far greater coverage

Confirm more dates please essential reference point

More coverage of Saturday Evening sports papers - essential for sports research

Extra dates are a necessity

Very little documented of Leeds history available on here strange considering the importance of the city in the industrial revolution it has undergone many changes and more should be portrayed even more so than these small Irish suburbs

Does any one have any info about Rhodes Square off Meanwood Road, I think it was just lower down from The Primrose PH but on the left coming out of Leeds thanks

Can anyone out there remember a bread shop on Middleton Road, Morley called “Spivey’s”? In the late 1950’s I used to be sent to Spivey’s on a Saturday morning to collect two small Hovis loaves that had been ordered by my Aunt who lived in Jubilee Terrace.
Also can anyone remember the stationer’s Butterworth & Pilkington in Fountain Street? I remember being in that shop in the 1950’s and it seemed to me like Aladdin’s cave.

I believe Leeds should have more dates incorporated and not pushed aside to make way for even more Irish or Indian papers which are not even part of Britain last time I checked

More dates please !!

How many versions of the old kirkstall abbey tunnell legend can anybody come up with?like tunnel going all the way up to bramley or the one to amen corner.i wonder if these stories have any truth

Where exactly was the Farm Stores along Lingwell Gate Lane, Outwood. My husband and I disagree, I think it was before the railway bridge opposite the Station, but he thinks it was a mile or two further along
