1991 proved to be a year of fresh starts, new beginnings and renewed hope for Leeds and its residents. It was also a city undergoing economic and social change. A Census count revealed six per cent of the city's population hailed from ethnic minority groups. It was a 12 months during which an entire Leeds town had a date at Wembley while the Happy Mondays took to the stage at Elland Road for a concert to remember. Enjoy these photos, mainly plucked from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, celebrating a year in the life of your Leeds.
