League of Gentleman fans queued the length of Borders book shop and half way down Briggate to meet their heroes. Work was underway at the £100 million Brewery Wharf development with a Centenary Bridge set to link it to Leeds city centre and the recently-redeveloped The Calls. This was Leeds in 2003, a year which featured the end of an era for the post office on City Square. Enjoy these photo memories – a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service – charting a year in the life of your city.
