These fantastic photos are sure to evoke memories for a generation of Leeds city centre shoppers in the 1980s. The images capture a snapshot in time of shopping at a time when people would spend hours looking around the shops - years before the age of click and collect and Internet shopping. The photos have been digitised from the Yorkshire Evening Post archive and feature well established retails gems such as Littlewoods and Wades as well as lesser known shops including Room 7 and Year Dot.
