A homeowner has discovered a perfectly preserved advert showing an artist's impression of her three-bedroom semi when it was first built eight decades ago. Julie Whitaker, 62, unearthed the 84-year-old newspaper cutting from a drawer in her home of 30 years in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The relic has been wonderfully preserved over the decades and is believed to have remained in the property ever since it was built around 1937, costing just £628. The three-bedroom property was so sought-after at the time that it was the builder's show home, furnished and decorated to show the public. She added: 'I think it's only right that the ad stays with the house after all these years.
