Leeds city centre as well as suburbs including Otley, Headingley, Lincoln Green, Hunslet and Kirkstall are featured this rewind to 1999, a year which proved one to remember for residents. 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.
