The images showcase local landmarks and street scenes during a decade which brought huge social and economic changes for LS13 and beyond. The 1980s signalled the opening of Bramley Station and also featured plans by Leeds City Council for a conservation area aimed at protecting the community's cultural and historic gems. Enjoy these photo memories some of which are plucked from the YEP archive and others 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.
