Pubs, cafes, shops as well as local sport and trade and industry all fall under the spotlight in this wonderful collection of memories from a decade to remember. Familiar streets and local landmarks are also in focus and are sure to evoke memories for a generation of people who called the suburb home back in the day. 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.
