They bring together a collection of photos which brings 1976 into focus, a 12 months which be remembered by those old enough for a cruel summer and a city centre landmark rising like a phoenix from the flames. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
