The mini gallery focuses on life along Kirkgate in Leeds city centre during the 1990s. Shops and pubs both fall under the spotlight as well as landmarks which have stood the test of time. 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. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
