Monica Lewinsky became internationally known in the late 1990s after US President Bill Clinton admitted to having had an affair with her during her days as a White House intern. She visited our city at the end of the decade to tell her side of the story. She was at Waterstones in the city centre to sign copies of her biography with author Andrew Morton. She also enjoyed a fish and chip supper at Bryan's restaurant in Headingley all washed down with a pint of beer. This was 1999 and the photo is one of 79 memories charting the year in the life of your Leeds. City centre landmarks are featured as well as memories from around the suburbs with Meanwood, Beeston, Allerton Bywater, Moortown, Stanningley and Kirkstall Road all in focus. 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.
