They turn back the clock to 1988, a year which provided its fair share of ups and downs for a city and its residents. City centre landmarks are featured as well as a host of memories from the suburbs with Harehills, Pudsey, Wetherby, Guiseley, Thorner, Roundhay and Sherburn-in-Elmet in focus. The images are a mix from the YEP archive as well as 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.
