Your city has undergone some huge changes in the last twenty years. We've dug through our archive at the Yorkshire Evening Post to find these photos to take you back to Leeds in 1996, a year which featured the opening of a newly rebuilt bus station, the Royal Armouries, Harvey Nichols, the Majestyk nigfhtclub and a trip to Wembley for Leeds United fans.

Horsforth Library on Town Street. This branch was opened in 1917 in the Mechanics Institute building, seen here on the far right. In 1975 a large extension was built, being the main part of the library shown here, though the reference section remained in the Mechanics. The library has since been replaced with a new building in Town Street which opened in February 2006. | Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
