I went to school at Harehills Secondary School between 66 and 68, it also had a youth club in the evening Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from there down to Hernadoes cafe after school later drank regularly in the Fford Green, the music room saw the Rolling stones there, the weekend before they hit the charts for the first time, often drank upstairs in a rather elegant bar called the Elizabethan Bar, the licencee was called John I think. Now in Derbyshire and the pub Fford is now a supermarket.
Harehills Lane and the shops were good back in the 70/80s, shoe shops/butchers/bakers/fishmonger etc etc..... mum bought me my first pair of DM shoes if I'm not mistaken in Cleggs shoe shop on the lane.....my first Star Wars figure from the newsagents and the walls ice cream sign, Drakes/ Malcolms the barbers when I had hair lol....place is a shit hole now....how sad😪 Most of my family lived in Harehills and have some fantastic memories.....good days all gone now unfortunately
You could buy shoes from stylos haberdashery from cloughtons selglors Sold underware stockings and jumper's,and there was various other shop's and you would always bump into someone you knew and have a chat,now it's so called multicultural but seems they are stranger's to each other.
The days of looking out for each other and a real sense of community have long gone, only goes to show how much harehills has gone downhill, it's a sh#thole.
David Burns- it is indeed, I find harehills thoroughly oppressive, filthy & depressing. it is sadly a representation of everything that is wrong with the concept of mass immigration into Britain. harehills is a massive abject failure!
Very well compliled, I lived in the Bayswaters through the war years, a lot of memories here. Where did you get the old pictures from? You have some really good ones.
Looking at these "then and now" photos. It goes to show that change isn't always good and some areas of the city are crap holes. I grew up on Compton Crescent in Harehills, Leeds in the early 70s and it was a good place to live, now I wouldn't go back there as its a right dog hole today...
@@yesthen2704 I need to get back to find out why... then fix it. But now i am trapped in Detroit and so is in the same situation.. with no way of getting back right now.. can you make me a way home so i try and fix it?
This school is included in some of my other Harehills videos. I never attended this school but knew many who did although I did attend the army cadets they ran there back in the 70s.
Me too we lived with my grandmother in Harehills Terrace which was pulled down I lived there when I was born in 1955 till 1966. Good memories living there but now it’s very poor.
Hi i attended harehills county primary school in 1982 on roundhay road there is now bangladeshi community centre there it was built around 1991 i think.
I went to Harehills County Primary School in the year 1959 till 1966 the headmaster was Harold Wilson we all used to walk down to St Aidans church for our lunch, I lived in Harehills Terrace from 1955 to 1966 in all these pictures I remember having a good childhood with lots of friends. Harehills Terrace was pulled down and never found out why.
5:24 Harehills Secondary School, my first year here I was in class 1B, teacher was Geoffrey Hill, simply the best teacher in the school, gave nicknames to most in class, some I remember, Dervish, Knocker, Curly, Bushbaby, apologies to those I fail to remember.
I only have 3 videos of Harehills, so whatever is on there is available. Alternatively you could try any Harehills facebook groups, Leodis for a huge photo library of Leeds and just google in general, hope this helps.
Nice video. But what a pitty that you didn't let us know the street names. I also have to agree with the previous comment about Harehills being a shi-hole. But believe me, 37 years ago, it wasn't :-( What on Earth happened in-between?
So glad I left the Conways back in 1968 for Tasmania, never been back, so fortunately my mental images are when Harehills was clean and tidy and a safe place to live and grow up through the war years and after. I saw was what coming and time has proved me right.
Harehills was a lovely area in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up. It is basically a no go area now full of Eastern Europeans lounging around the street in gangs all day. A uk Casablanca. Dreadfully sad how an area has been decline like this. Multiculturalism my arse.

@@OneHundredEnvelopes You can't 'fix' Harehills. It needs bulldozing.
When i was there it was jewish and rasters. every aug 1st the rasters would bring out their crates and Harehills Ave would be a dub show.

Where are the videos of Hamilton primary school & Earl Cowper middle school in the 80's? It is now Hillcrest school on cowper street Leeds
I don't know Musarat? My videos are primarily Harehills and not Chapeltown because Harehills is where I grew up from the 60s,
I was raised in harehills too do u not have videos or photos Roundhay road
I only have 3 videos of Harehills, so whatever is on there is available.
Alternatively you could try any Harehills facebook groups, Leodis for a huge photo library of Leeds and just google in general, hope this helps.
This is an aerial video of roundhay road back in the 70s- czcams.com/video/KloBx7xOjT4/video.html

You're right it wasn't then but it most certainly is now.

What a shame a lovely area of Leeds got multiculturaly ruined it's plain to see everywhere that gets invaded gets run down and destroyed

It's a shit hole there now, I absolutly hate driving through it, let alone walk through it, it doesn't even resemble Leeds anymore
All that really changed is demographic.
a real dump now 😢
This needs a revamp. Harehills is a third world country now. Progress isn't always good...
This has turned into a shyte hole 😢
