1993 proved to be a year of the weird and wacky and one to remember. Love was in the air thanks to the first ever Valentine Fair staged in the city while the city centre proved an illuminating sight as it celebrated its 100th birthday. Away from the bright lights a well known nightclub was celebrating thanks to an after dark licensing victory while a Leeds resident took drastic action to see his name appear at the end of the telephone directory. Enjoy these photos, plucked from the YEP archive and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service, charting a year in the life of your city and its residents.
