That public exposure eventually led to the idea of a book produced by the Bradford Culture Company, backed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Anne McNeill, who has edited it, says: “Victor’s images tell the story of the Frontline as a place where generations hang out at cafes, hire films from the local video shop.
“Where romances blossom, where endless football games are won and lost, where men shoot the breeze over a game of pinball, and where cars, a source of pride for their owners, are characters in their own right.
“All to the beat of sound systems playing reggae, roots and dub.
“Frontline is an irreplaceable visual record of a period in British history, and a distinctive contribution to British social documentary photography that is full of relevance for today’s audiences.”
For Wedderburn, who still lives in Bradford, the publication by Trolley Books is the fulfilment of a long-held wish.
He says: “It’s like having a lifetime dream and finally, it’s happened.
“I’m just amazed that it’s actually here.”
Frontline 1984-85 is due to be launched at Autograph Gallery in London on 5 November and then in Bradford at the Loading Bay on 10 November.
