1990 is the focus of this gallery of memories which turns the spotlight on the stories making the news from each month of the year. Highlights from the 12 months included the unveiling of a city centre mural, time called on a landmark clock shop and the opening of the city’s newest live venue. Each memory has been curated from the YEP archive using photos which, in some instances, have never been digitised.
