I was brought up living in Leeds when my mother died when I was three days old. My son bought me this lovely book, by Alan J Haigh. To me, an excellent read, especially the trams. The happy days I had travelling from Mean wood to Leeds city centre and back 8) when I lived with my uncle and aunt and two cousins.
When I lived with my grandmother and grandfather, the journeys by tram to Leeds centre from Gipton. 8)
Then travelling by bus from Leeds to Dewsbury to see my uncle, aunt and cousins, ( who had moved there because of work), then back home by train. I used to do that journey most weekends from the age of 9, yes nine, to the age of 24.

Then I met Lady G :D

A lovely book. Many excellent memories

It's really good when you have a present bought for you that can bring back wonderful memories, a book to treasure.
