Department store Allders enjoyed a nine year stint serving a generation of shoppers keen for their retail fix. Did you go to the big closing down sale? Even the store's fixtures and fittings were up for grabs. This was Leeds in 2005, a year which will also be remembered for hidden treasures, job cuts and ten-year-old boy being was the subject of an anti-social behaviour order.
