I am 81 and as child my parents took me there. Quite often I I can remember a lot of caution signs saying there might be mines there that they have missed. I loved the place, huge waves splashing on one side and peace and quiet on the other side. So beautiful

Came to Leeds in 1990, as a single mum, recently deserted by the father of my child. My parents had moved there for work following redundancies. I lived in Weetwood with them for 5 years, went out in Headingley a lot. After 5 years, moved into the first home of my own in Meanwood, met and had two more children with another man who deserted us, lived there for 9 years before moving again to Burley in 2004, where I raised my three children alone for the next 14 years, and where I still live. Kids have grown up and moved away for work and University in the North East. Seen many changes in the 32 years I’ve lived here, places I used to live no longer exist or changed beyond recognition, but this is my home, my city now, and for all that, I am grateful.

Cheap modern buildings, tarted up old buildings. Leeds is a forgotten city. Where are the back to back houses the sink housing estates, the areas of wasteland neglected by the council? I feel no pride for this neglected city, the people of Leeds deserve better.

well said Geoff, you echo my thoughts- all this talk of the swanky new Leeds, capital of the north bollocks blurp blurp! this city suffers from poor vision & lousy civic leadership- some people see what they want to see and I see leeds for what it is Just a gentrified, overcrowded grubby little dump where all the finery is lathered on the surface just to please all the exiled southerners & the middle class students whilst the rest can go fuck off-

Happy days during the 50’s and 60’s but Leeds was never the same after the Ceylon Tea Centre and Schofields closed down. The heart went out of the centre, for me anyway.
