This fantastic collection of photos from around the heart of Leeds in 2006 starts with a panoramic view of the city centre from the city’s tallest building. It was taken from the top floor of Bridgewater Place - the 31st floor - by Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Simon Hulme. This gallery of memories captures city centre at work, rest and play during a 12 months of changes, challenges as well as refurbishments and re-openings. It proved to be a newsy 12 months thanks to a raft of popular events as well as a bomb scare and bad weather. READ MORE: 29 Leeds publicans you may remember from the mid noughties LOVE LEEDS?
