1967 is the focus of this gallery which features memories from the city centre before moving around the suburbs with Armley, Oulton, Kippax, Burmantofts, Seacroft, Wortley and Headingley all featured. 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.
