Leeds - The Way We Were | Part 2: The City Speaks.

Two times from History when Yorkshire voters made big decisions in the battle between the Conservatives and Labour.

In recognition of the upcoming election, the second film in our Leeds series looks at the 1929 and 1945 elections in the city.

With universal suffrage, and the subsequent birth of the NHS respectively, both elections were revolutionary in their own right.
