When a leaky school roof put a dampener on exams

It was the summer month when life at school around Leeds dominated the news agenda.

You had to feel sorry for pupils at Cardinal Heenan High in Meanwood who were forced to sit exams in the school hall while the roof was leaking. This was June 1998, a month which featured a snapshot of time buried at a school and another enjoying the delights of a 'heather garden'. Elsewhere a familiar face who would go on to Olympic gold touched down in Leeds while a band was recording a video for a recording of a pop anthem. Enjoy these photos, plucked from the YEP archive, charting 30 days in the life of your city at the back end of the 1990s. READ MORE: 21 famous faces who went to school in Leeds LOVE LEEDS?
