1954 is the year in focus with landmarks, street scenes and news stories making the headlines all featured in this fabulous trip down memory lane. It was a 12 months which saw statutes being given a wash-down and trams trundling down the tracks. It also proved to be a year of tragedy after a fire led to the death of three people. The images are a mix 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.
