Jean Paul Bouchez was the talk of foodies across the city thanks to his attempt to impress diners at French eaterie La Grillade on Wellington Street. This was Leeds in September 2004, a month which featured youngsters playing snakes and ladders and jenga in the middle of the street as part of a no-car initiative. Enjoy these photo memories, plucked from the YEP archive, charting 30 days in the life of your Leeds in the middle of the early 2000s.
