Chapeltown Police Station in Chapel Allerton is an arresting sight in this photo gallery dedicated to a year in the life of Leeds. It was 1994, a 12 months which featured the launch of a new scheme in Leeds which provided materials in different formats, including computer disks and videos, for work related learning. Elsewhere Leeds City Varieties, the country's oldest working music hall, was in need of some tender loving care while an aerial view of a former opencast coal mine turned nature reserve showcased the wonder of nature. Enjoy these photo memories, a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service, charting a year in the life of your city.
