It's the city centre landmark which has provided a place to rest and play through the years. These photos from the Yorkshire Evening Post archive showcase how the Leeds Corn Exchange has provided retail therapy for a generations of shoppers as well as a venue to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat and a place to hang out. It has also been the focus of news stories, protest, photo calls and event launches. We hope these rarely-seen images evoke some happy memories.
