This title includes a selection of images taken by staff photographers showing the physical and social changes in the city during the 1980s and 1990s. From bustling streets full of shopping queues and vintage motors to the characters of yesteryear, this book vividly depicts this marvellous city as we once knew it. Leeds is a city which rarely stands still. The photographs in this latest "Yorkshire Evening Post" book cover twenty years in which the city we now see began to come together. They were decades of development. Among the buildings which went up were Quarry House, standing on the site of the flats which have featured so prominently in earlier "Yorkshire Evening Post" books, the White Rose Centre to the south of the city, Leeds City Bus Station and Number One City Square: the office block which still dominates the view from the train station. The early nineties are years which football fans look back on with considerable nostalgia - Leeds United took the First Division title in 1992, the best team in the land. Several photographs show the team from that great 1991-92 season, resplendent in their "Yorkshire Evening Post"-sponsored strip. Leeds is a vibrant, never-sleeping city. The eighties and nineties helped make it what it is today. Those years are slipping into history. I hope you enjoy looking at this book of photographs taken by "Yorkshire Evening Post" photographers and, if you were in our city in the decades at the end of the twentieth century, wonderful memories are brought back by them. "The Yorkshire Evening Post" has been serving the people of Leeds and beyond since the closing years of the 19th century. It has reported on the lives of many generations of Yorkshire people, standing up time and again for its readers and the city at its heart. "The Yorkshire Evening Post" is one of the UK's largest regional newspapers, reflecting both the importance of the area it covers and the loyalty of its readers. For many homes in Leeds and Yorkshire, the day is not complete without the "Evening Post".
