Description:
July 1981.
View of Harehills Road near the junction with Roundhay Road, showing, from left, nos. 11-29. Shops visible include J. & L. Rogerson, newsagents, sweets & tobacco, Brian Stewart's childrens wear and lingerie and M.C. & J. Fashions. All are boarded up due to riots which had been taking place in the area during a time of nationwide unrest. Police cars had been overturned in Chapeltown and this had become a no-go area, though some of the shops were trying to remain open as usual. Photograph courtesy of Stephen Howden.
