Rest and relaxation was the order of the day at Park Square in ths summer of 1993. This fantastic image is just one of 21 charting the year in photos. City centre landmarks are in focus as well as memories from around the suburbs with Burmantofts, Hunslet, Headingley and Halton among those in focus. The photos also document news stories which were making the headlines during the 12 months. The images are a mix from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
