They focus on 1978, 12 months which featured cityscape demolition with a capital D. It proved to be the end of an era as Quarry Hill Flats, heralded as UK's largest social housing complex, were pulled down due to their poor condition. It was also a year which featured the city celebrating sporting silverware after Leeds RL won the Challenge Cup final.
