The site of Schofields department store which had welcomed customers since 1962 was set to be demolished. It would eventually be replaced by the Schofields Centre, a retail development incorporating a smaller Schofields store. This was 1987, a 12 months which also featured a city determined to clean up its act with more than £1 million invested into street cleaning technology. These photos are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
