They turn back the clock to 1999 and showcase a city looking forward to the dawn of a new millennium. City centre landmarks are in focus as well as memories from the suburbs with Kirkstall, Wortley, Seacroft and East End Park all featured. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
