Memories of Leeds Bond Street Centre

With its Space Age design, plush interior and moving walkways it helped modernise the city centre shopping experience.

The Bond Street Centre opened in the summer of 1977 and boasted 30 shops including big names brands such as BHS and Mothercare.

It was refurbished in 1996 and changed its name to Leeds Shopping Plaza. READ MORE: Unseen photos chart of a golden age of Leeds pub culture LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?
