They turn back the clock to 1991 and bring into focus news events and stories which were making the news headlines from the 12 months. City centre shops and landmarks are also featured as well as memories from the suburbs with Meanwood, Osmondthorpe, Guiseley, Armley, Bramham and Methley all in focus. The photos 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.
