Some memories of this area from the 60s. I went to Whingate Road School from 62 to 68. There used to be a shop called Oxleys on Whingate Junction and shops along the right of Whingate Road, going past the school. Ken's butchers, a chemist, green grocers, a little haberdashery shop and a chemist were there amongst others. We used to buy uncut bread from the bakers across the road. I remember being sent to one of the shops on a Sunday morning for a packet of salt but was told the regulations stated that I had to buy something else too. They weren't allowed to sell salt on it's own on a Sunday! We used to walk down Carcrofts to Town Street.

At 6.51 on the video, going up Tong Road, my Blue Mini parked up outside my old computer shop, Arcadia, excellent spot for a shop, lots of passing traffic, had many many good years of business.

The dreaded school dentist was on Theaker Lane off Town Street, the baby clinic was the building just up the road where I remember seeing a big rocking horse but I was never allowed to play on it.

Oh my god. I can barely recognize it! Everyone commenting from 8 years ago talking about how different it was, but now it's 2019 and it's so unbelievably different. I'm actually in shock.

Armley is rough and its caused by smackheads and people on dole with no goals with their lives. With poor manners, not educated. I would't blame them foreigners Si, majority of them are hardworkers.

You can tell the lady car driver isn't from Leeds, from how she mispronounces Wortley. When they pass the single-decker bus before turning left down Armley Town Street & Graham, the passenger, enquires about it's destination. A Scottish motorist once asked me for directions, at the bottom of Tong Road. I couldn't help him until I realised he was mispronouncing the word Wortley.

Thanks for posting! That small school near the beginning is a retraining centre where people that have been out of work for 6 months or longer go. Armley Town Street is more or less the same, the road that goes uphill past the library has speed bumps on it now. Not much change in 14 years, except car models and clothes people wear, plus more traffic on the roads. What was the exact date of this film? i'd like to try and work out where i was!
