26 of the best colour photos take you back to Leeds in 1992

These photos chart a year in the life of Leeds in the early 1990s - in glorious colour.

They take you back to 1992, a year during which two city institutions of retail were celebrating their 60th anniversary. It was a 12 months during which a city basked in the glory of its football team sitting on the summit of domestic football. These photos feature city centre memories before taking you around the suburbs with Holbeck, Woodhouse, Meanwood and Guiseley 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.
