1984 was the year the Clarendon Wing opened at Leeds General Infirmary replacing the old Women's and Children's Hospital which had been connected to the main site for many years by a long corridor on stilts. The photo is one of 24 which turn the spotlight on life around the city during the 12 months. City centre landmarks are featured before the memories showcase life around the city suburbs with Alwoodley, Beeston, Harehills, Calverley, Garforth and Holbeck all in focus. The images are published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.

Leeds Grammar School on Moorland Road with the edge of Woodhouse Moor on the left pictured in January 1984. It is believed that a grammar school has existed in Leeds since around 1341, originally in the Parish Church. It became formalised in 1552 after a board of trustees was set up in the will of schoolmaster Rev. William Sheafield to provide a salary for his successors. New premises were found in The Calls, than Lady Lane, before John Harrison funded a new school on his land between Vicar Lane and New Briggate in 1624. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
