The Schofields store which had been a city centre landmark since 1962 had been reduced to rubble. It would in time would be replaced by retail development Schofields Centre. This was 1987, a year which featured pop legends Genesis and Madonna take to the stage, the Keep Britain Tidy Campaign helping to keep the city free of litter and a raft of new library openings much to the delight of bookworms. These memories also turns the spotlight on a 12 months of local sporting achievement with both football and cricket in focus. Enjoy these photos, a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service, charting a year in the life of your city and its residents.

The counter of the Music Library in a corner of the Central Lending department in the Central Library. Behind the counter are rows of cassettes ready for loan for which the boxes will be out on display. Records were also available. These have now been replaced by CD's and DVD's in the much larger Music Library on the first floor, but music books and scores are still available. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net

Demolition underway in readiness for construction of the Schofields Centre which opened in 1990. The view looks down onto the site and across to Lands Lane. The red brick and white building with the circular window housing shop premises in Lands Lane is located next to Angel Inn Yard and is called Scala House. It was formerly the premises of the 1,629 seater Scala Cinema which opened on 24th June 1922. Above the cinema there was the Scala Ballroom. Nearer to the camera is the rear of the red brick Church Institute at the corner of Lands Lane with Albion Place, addressed then as number 5 Albion Place. Photo: David L. Thompson
