The Old Golden Fleece, City Of Mabgate Inn, The Pointer, Hayfield Hotel, and the Duke of William are all featured in celebration of 12 months of memories in 2002. It was a year of devastation, destruction and demolition for a number of much-loved boozers across the city. Elsewhere flooding brought chaos to a market town and a theatre gem announced plans for a major refurbishment. Enjoy these photo memories, a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, run by Leeds Library & Information Service, charting a year in the life of your city.
