The 1980s are the focus of this trip down memory lane to showcase life around Leeds city centre and its suburbs. Harehills, Rawdon, Hunslet and Headingley are just some of the communities featured in this fantastic rewind. The images are from 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.
