Pricey parking was dominating the news agenda in 1994, a year which also saw a fundamental change in shopping habits with the introduction of Sunday trading. These 19 photos chart the year in photos with city centre landmarks in focus as well as memories from the suburbs with Drighlington, Chapel Allerton, Morley and Yeadon all featured. The photos are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of the David Atkinson Archive whose collection is housed on photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
