This wonderful gallery is sure to spark memories from a generation of people who called the city home during the decade. Life around the city centre is in focus as well as the suburbs. The images are 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.
