How Leeds coped with flooding through the years

These photos showcase how Leeds has united as a city when heavy rain brought flooding chaos over the years.

The city has been forced to deal with its fair share of extreme weather events of near biblical proportions through the decades. And the flooding has brought commuter chaos, rescues, cancellations and postponements. Yet each time residents responded with a spirit and defiance to be proud of. How many of these extreme episodes of flooding do you remember?
