They showcase the best of what the St Johns Shopping Centre had to offer during the 1990s, a decade when shoppers spent hours looking around the shops for bargains. The photos take you up and down the escalator to put the shops you (prpbably) visited back in the day into focus. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and 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.
