Probably taken in the mid-1940s this photograph of Leen Gate shows Bayley's tannery buildings, then very much in use, dominating the background. On the extreme right of the image is a nameplate reading 'Tanners Yard' which provided access to a set of multi-storey properties, doubtless originally built by the tannery for their employees.

This 1959 photograph featured in the Nottingham Evening News following the announcement that Nottingham Corporation had received government approval for the compulsory purchase and subsequent demolition of a number of properties across Nottingham. One of these demolition areas involved some of the properties based on Leen Gate including the block of maisonettes called Tanners Yard. Part of the Tanners Yard properties can be seen in this newspaper photograph.

Taken in the 1950s this photograph shows No.4 Leen Gate. This property is still with us and forms half of the building currently occupied by Leen Gate News. The original of this photograph was provided by Mrs Mary Meyer who then lived in Salt Lake City, U.S.A. and it is featured in the Lenton Listener article From Leengate to Salt Lake.

The view looking back along Leen Gate towards Gregory Street with part of The White Hart pub evident in the background. The foreground is part of the car park for the Monty Hind Club and in the middle distance Leen Gate 'Newsmarket' shop. Photograph taken July 2001.

Looking up Leen Gate towards the Queens Medical Centre. On the right is the Monty Hind Club which moved from Willoughby Street. to these purpose-built premises in the 1960s. Beyond it is the old tannery building which is now converted into housing. Photograph taken July 2001.

Part of the old tannery complex in the early 1980s when it was occupied by Bell Fruit Co. The company later confined their operations to premises on the other side of the road and the property was sold off and later converted by Zodeco into apartments.

A view of the old tannery building fronting on to Leen Gate in 1989 after it had undergone conversion into apartments. Leengate News can be seen in the far distance.

The same view some twenty four years later [2013]. We now have a tree growing at the side of the building but everything else looks much the same.

The same building as in the previous photograph but looking from the Gregory Street end with the Queens Medical Centre just visible in the far distance. Photograph taken by Jacqueline Haywood in 2010.

This portion of the old tannery complex was demolished soon after the photograph was taken to make way for the car park jointly used by Bell Fruit employees and the occupants of the housing complex.

The property in the previous photograph has come down although the exterior wall was partially retained to form the boundary wall of the car park. Beyond it the demolition men have now moved on to the building in the centre in the photograph.

From the late 1970s until 1986 Bampton Packaging Ltd. occupied this building on Leen Gate in addition to their main premises on Gregory Street. This photograph, provided by Bampton's, was taken in 1981.

As can be seen from this other 1981 shot of the side of this building it comes with an awful lot of roof structure. Quite when the building was erected is unclear but it was definitely there in the late 1920s when it featured in aerial photographs of the locality

Probably taken in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century a group of leatherworkers employed by T. Bayley & Co Ltd pose for their photograph. The only person so far identified is Harry Berry standing on the extreme left of the shot.
