Restored film footage from almost 30 years ago has struck viewers with a sense of nostalgia and commentary on Leeds “unchanging” road conditions.
A video producer has gone viral on social media after posting nostalgic footage of a drive around Leeds city centre in 1995 - ‘without cycle lanes, traffic cameras or the loop’.
Body: On an early mid-February morning in 1995, Dave Redmond attached his camera to his car dashboard and took a journey around the streets of Leeds.
At the time, Dave was the producer for a video production about “advanced driving” and was tasked with gathering footage of the city on a quiet morning.
Dave spent months driving around with the video camera mounted, looking for incidents of good and bad driving.
The eight-minute video shows some significant moments that highlight the time it was filmed - including a Valentine fayre that used to be held in the city centre.
Dave told the Yorkshire Post the video shows a time of being able to travel through the city “unhindered”.
