We featured Back-Chat on this thread last week - a great archive of oral histories in the @Yeadoncentre area

The most recent interview on the site is of Andy Briggs, born 1953: https://back-chat.org.uk/andy-briggs.aspx">https://back-chat.org.uk/andy-brig...

Thursday also means #ThrowbackThursday time!

Today& #39;s image from our Leodis archive shows shops on the corner of the Upper Head Row and New Briggate; they all closed prior to the opening of the Lewis& #39;s building on this day in 1932
