The photos, plucked from the YEP archive, also focus on life in the suburbs with Harehills, Roundhay, Woodhouse, Cross Gares and Hunslet all featured.

32. Leeds city centre
Every fortnight a man from West Yorkdshire County Council's street lighting department tours the remaining 80 gas lights in Leeds. But he is no longer the lamp-lighter of days gone by - he is an electrician. And his job is to wind up the clockwork mechanism, a time-switch which lights the gas lamps each evening. The 80 from 8,000 that remains are in two main districts: the yards and alleyways of the city centre and the streets of Farsley and Calverley. Pictured in September 1982. | YPN Photo: YPN
