13. Technoloigy and rock history
Remember students rushing in and out of here back in the day? It closed in 2019 after 60 years. The campus played its part in rock history. The Who's album Live at Leeds had two tracks re-recorded there and Pink Floyd's song "See Emily Play" was written on site after a gig in the building when it was still known as Kitson College. | YPN Photo: YPN

14. Retail therapy and sale of the century
Thousands of people flocked to bag a bargain at a big closing down sale at Allders, which included filling a carrier with all the underwear you could stuff in for a fiver. | YPN Photo: YPN

15. Frying tonight
Youngmans was the fish and chip restaurant boasting more than 100 years of frying history stretching back to 1885. The doors closed for the last time after tea on February 1989 at its home on Queen Victoria Street, off Briggate. | YPN Photo: YPN

16. Tea and good company at the Lakeside
Middleton Park Cafe opened in 1920 and dated from the time Leeds City Council acquired the parkland from the Maude family. The cafe was housed in an old row of six cottages known locally as Top of the Wood. It still retained its original range and fireplace when it finally closed in November 1997 despite a 500-strong petition to save it. | YPN Photo: YPN

17. Making a splash at Roundhay Park
The open air swimming pool at Roundhay Park was at the southern tip of Waterloo Lake, near the dam, and opened in June 1907. By the 1950s and 1960s, it attracted around 100,000 visitors every summer. The pool's usage declined again, and by the late 1980s it had shut and the area was later cleared. | YPN Photo: YPN
