Thanks for your comments, Chops. Trams were a very common sight in Leeds. Just after the war travelling from Meanwood to Leeds City Centre and back was a regulr occurence. Then from Gipton to Leeds Centre.



Early morning at Clarence Dock. The overnight rain has stopped. The Dock Policeman is admonishing the local scallywag.
