These wonderful photos transport you back to a year in the life of Leeds at the back end of the 1980s. 1988 is the direction of travel with this collection of photos providing an intriguing overview of memories. City centre landmarks and street scenes are featured from back in the day as well as a selection of memories from around the suburbs. Headingley, Morley, Hyde Park, Sheepscar, Wetherby, Chapeltown and Thorner are all featured. 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.
