It brings together 12 months of memories from Middleton in 1997, a year which the south Leeds community stood tall and proud. Pictured above is Jackie Mudd who could remember some 1,500 drinks requested by customers from behind the bar at The Middleton Arms. It was also a year which the future of Lakeside Cafe at Middleton Park was under the spotlight. Enjoy these photo memories plucked from the YEP archive which celebrate life in LS10.
