LS14 said goodbye to what remained of the Seacroft Shopping Centre in the 1990s. It had been opened by The Queen in 1965 as part of the £1.25 million Civic Centre development which at the time was heralded as a novel way of building an outdoor purpose built town centre. By the 1990s it was being demolished to make way for a new £30million retail development, the focal point of which was to be a 90,000 sq ft Tesco supermarket. The 1990s was also a decade which featured a bingo hall under the threat of closure in the heart of the community, eviction protests and a poignant goodbyes. Enjoy these photo memories celebrating ten years in the life of Seacroft and its residents. READ MORE: Walk around Seacroft Shopping Centre during the 1960s and 1970s LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?
