Children playing in the newly-opened Banstead Park in Harehills. Work had started in the summer of 1983 on the former site of Banstead Grove and Harehills Terrace. Leeds City Council had applied for a grant of £186,000 from the Inner City Programme to construct the park on the cleared site. It was to include two play areas with a range of modern play equipment, an area planted with wild flowers and grasses to attract bees and butterflies and a kickabout area.

The rear of Templar House seen from the car park at the back in June 1984. This grade II listed building is situated at the corner of Templar Lane, background left, and Lady Lane, background right. It was originally built as a Methodist Chapel but is here occupied by British Road Services. Its condition is already seen to be deteriorating and it has since deteriorated further as a result of being left vacant for some time. Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net

Members of the public use the microfilm reading machines at Leeds Central Library in April 1984. Many of the local newspapers were put onto microfilm in the late 1960s to reduce the amount of storage space needed. Currently available on microfilm are records of Births, Marriages and Deaths, along with Census entries and a wide selection of local, plus some national newspapers.
