Description: Restored film footage from almost 30 years ago has struck viewers with a sense of nostalgia and commentary on Leeds “unchanging” road conditions.<br/><br/>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’.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Dave spent months driving around with the video camera mounted, looking for incidents of good and bad driving.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Dave told the Yorkshire Post the video shows a time of being able to travel through the city “unhindered”.<br/><br/>Video and all credit: Dave Redmond/CVS
