They turn back the clock to the 1980s and showcase landmarks, shops, pubs and street scenes around the inner city suburb during a time of economic and social change. Domestic Street is in focus as well as much loved pubs at the heart of the community such as The Grove. 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.
