It proved to be a 12 months of changes and challenges. City centre shops and landmarks are in focus as well as memories from all four corners of Leeds. Suburbs under the spotlight include Chapeltown, Moortown, Pudsey, Crossgates, Horsforth, Pool, Holbeck and Wortley. 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.
