This wonderful collection of photos turns back the clock to 1902 and brings into focus the hustle and bustle of life in the city centre before heading out into the suburbs with Rothwell, Sheepscar and Knostrop in focus. The images are a mix from the Thoresby Society and others published courtesy of photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service.
