1980 proved to be a year of change and challenges for the city and its residents. These photos help ring the changes with the city centre in focus before the images head out to the suburbs with Harehills, Hunslet, Horsforth, Tadcaster, Boston Spa and Meanwood. They 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..
