Well, okay, it was TV presenter Zoe Ball who visited the new Virgin Megastore at the Leeds Shopping Plaza on Albion Street in the city centre. This was Leeds in November 1996, a month which also saw Leeds RL become Leeds Rhinos. The photo is one of 16 plucked from the YEP archive charting the 30 days in the life of your Leeds and its residents. The stories making the news headlines during the month are featured as well as memories from the city centre and the suburbs with Cookridge, Richmond Hill and Roundhay Park in focus.
