The landmark Quarry Hill Flats were in the process of being demolished while a city came together to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Enjoy these photos, published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service, charting a year in the life of your city.

19. Leeds in 1977
Described in the book 'When the Streets Were Lit by Gas' by Philip Croft Tordoff as a 'little lane just off the main road at Farnley'. It is thought to be Gamble Lane which leads onto Tong Road and looks in the direction of the Beulah Hotel at the top of Farnley. Further towards the Ring Road in the opposite direction Gamble Lane.
