The Local Studies Library has over 50,000 books and pamphlets on all aspects of Leeds and Yorkshire. These include items which are quirky, fascinating, unique, and often very valuable, such as: Leeds Pottery Pattern books - priceless relics from the historic firm of Hartley Greens and Co., Leeds pottery manufacturers Grattan's mail order catalogue for 1960-61 - see what we wore, how we decorated our homes, what domestic appliances were "state of the art" back then!
