Following recommendations made in the Robbins Report (1963) the City of Leeds Training College was renamed the City of Leeds College of Education.

Formed by the amalgamation of the City of Leeds College of Education (formerly the City of Leeds Training College) and Carnegie of Physical Education. In 1976 the College became part of Leeds Polytechnic.

Charles Richard Hattersley Pickard was a prolific photographer around Leeds in the first half of the twentieth century. He had active business premises in the city from 1897 to 1940. He appears to have given up control of the firm Charles Pickard and Son around the start of WW2 when his son Alan took over.
The firms negatives were destroyed in 1964 at the time of a move to new premises. In 1986 they changed name to Larkfield Photography Ltd. and in 1994 became Leach Studio Ltd. This company was dissolved in 2000. Latterly they specialised in Industrial Photography, many prints being handed over to Leeds Industrial Museum (Armley?).
