The Eldon and The Pack Horse are both featured in this trip down memory lane charting a decade in the life of LS2. The gallery also captures one of the simple pleasures in life for children - playing at the park with friends. 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.
