These photo memories chart a year in the life of your Leeds in the early 1980s. The gallery provides a fascinating snapshot of a city at work, rest and play in 1981. It brings into focus news stories which were making the headlines during the year as well as landmarks, some of which have since been demolished. City centre memories are featured as well as others from around the suburbs with Horsforth, Pudsey, Thorp Arch, Headingley, Methley and Chapeltown all in focus.
