Park Lane College provided further, higher and adult education to over 45,000 students and operated out of more than 40 sites across the city. Back in April 2009 it merged with Thomas Danby and the Leeds College of Technology to form the new Leeds City College. We hope these photos, plucked from the YEP archive, will evoke happy memories for a generation of students. READ MORE: Memories of lost Leeds city centre pubs LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA?
