This is the first part to my trilogy, showcasing my memories of Armley with photos I have found on the internet. No copyright is intended. Hope you enjoy.
Lived at 259 Tong Rd from 1962-64 then No 2 4th Avenue from 1964- 65 (My older sister died in this house, I was 4 yrs old ) Then lived at no 4 Butts Mount from 1966 to 1977 ( ages 6 to 17yrs) We were all poor, some more than others but we had a great community, most of my family lived around me, aunts/uncles/Grand Parents, it was a hard time but a good time. so many friends, I often wonder where they are now. I went to Green Lane from 64 - 71 , Armley Park from 71 - 73 then Gotts Park 73 - 76 . . . . I am 62 now and still think of the many things we used to get up to lol
Shops, shops everywhere! How useful. How practical. Now, get in a car, suffer about five sets of traffic lights to a huge supermarket car park - American style! The image at 10'19 of the tower block construction resembles some great spider and it's web that has destroyed all the streets around it.
It is similar however the building is Armley Park Secondary school.( Now used as office space)It is on Stanningley Rd in Armley.Thanks for asking and I hope you have enjoyed this and the other videos.Merry Xmas my friend......

I wish we could go back to those times..
Happy childhood, no money but lots of joy and freedom.... Thank you.
Fantastic, lived my childhood in the area.
Armley born and bread, 3 Arley terrace 1980 to 1990...happiest days of my life...it's a different world in armley now though...
Exile Mancunian what lived in Armley Edinburgh Road in 2011. Think England in general gone down the pan in Community,Society and demographically.
My goodness Armley was run down back then. I am not suprised my parents were so desperate to get away to North Leeds in the 50's.
many thanks for these wonderful photo's they brought back so many memories of my childhood
magic memories,thank you
Castleton primary school @ 0.44 my first school , great memories of a much loved and now much changed suburb , thanks for posting 👍
Only just seen these videos of yours. Some of the building and streets I recognise some were before my time. I was born in the 60s
we used to go to the lyric for saturday matinee, go down the right side and sneak in through the fire doors, took me back 40+ years seeing that pic :)
