They turn back the clock to 1973 and focus on the news stories making the headlines during the 12 months. It was a year the winds of social and economic change swept through the city. The city’s pub culture was feeling the pinch while the city’s residents came together for a range of annual events. Photo memories feature the city centre before heading around the suburbs with Whitkirk, Yeadon, Holbeck, Chapeltown, Rothwell and Bramley 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.
