This gallery turns back the clock to 1977 and showcases the year in the life of the city and its residents. The collection includes stories which were making the news during the 12 months as well as unseen photos from the city centre and the suburbs with Harehills, Yeadon, Wetherby and Armley all in focus. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others 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.

October 1977 and a £750,000 office redevelopment scheme aimed at combining the best of both worlds - by retaining its imposing Edwardian facade as the frontage of a modern five-storey office block. Bardon Chambers, pictured, at the corner of Infirmary Street and King Street, was built in 1905 as the 'Hotel de Ville'. | YPN Photo: YPN

The Post office on City Square looks pretty snazzy after a clean up. But walk just round the corner to Quebec Street and there's quite a contrast on the same building. There, as our photo from August 1977 shows, the sparkle ends and the grime begins. What you might call a colossal tide mark. | YPN Photo: YPN
