The gallery of memories turns back the clock to 1984, a year which saw the future of three city centre post offices - included one on The Headrow and another in the Merrion Centre - under threat. The Post Office planned to replace them with a new Crown Post Office at the St John’s Centre. News stories from the 12 months are featured as well as a host of memories from around the city’s suburbs including Cookridge, Hunslet, Burmantofts and Moortown.
