History of the Yorkshire Evening Post Centenary Edition (1890–1990)

Founded in 1890, the Yorkshire Evening Post became one of the region’s most influential daily papers, documenting the industrial growth of Leeds, two world wars, royal events, scientific breakthroughs and major social change.

The 1990 centenary edition celebrated a full century of reporting with a montage of defining moments — from the Titanic disaster and the outbreak of war to the Queen’s Coronation, the first Moon landing and the 1980s tragedies that shaped public memory.
These commemorative issues are now prized for their rich visual history and their role in marking a hundred years of Yorkshire journalism.
