I found these wonderful pictures on Flickr of the site in the snow, from 1990. The Leeds skyline is very different to the one we see today, as is the development around the canal... no Armouries for a start. However, the island is already there (which shouldn't be a surprise - it's on the earliest OS map I could find in 1854) and filled with a very similar combination of single-storey huts that is still there now.
