Leeds city centre and suburbs including Burley, Harehills, Meanwood and Armley are all featured in this gallery of memories focusing on the year 2000. The photos 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.
