This dissertation is over 50 years old. Written painstakingly by hand at a time when there were no computers or the Internet, Carol Winteringham takes you through a thorough first-hand analysis of urban developments in north-western Leeds. She takes into consideration the housing, industry and shopping facilities, looking at their historical development from 1940 to 1961 as well as the future plans up to 1981.

"When I started looking back I suddenly realised that all my years in Leeds, England, had been spent at one address only: 137 Victoria Road. All my childhood years and early experiences stemmed from here." - Carol Winteringham
