Your city has undergone some huge changes in the last twenty years. We've dug through our archive at the Yorkshire Evening Post to find these photos to take you back to Leeds in 2003, a year which featured strikes, sporting frustrations, fond farewells, fresh starts and new beginnings. This is part one of two galleries covering 2003 and runs from January through to May.
