They turn back the clock to 1980 and showcase the daily grind of life around the city as well as highlighting the stories making the news headlines during the 12 months. City centre landmarks and shops are featured as well as memories from the suburbs with Meanwood, Oakwood, Armley and Halton among those in focus. The photos 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.
