The Beginning of the 0113 Area Code
Leeds phone numbers were lengthened from six to seven digits on PhONEday in April 1995, at the same time as the new 0113 area code replaced the former 0532 area code.
The historic mnemonic code was LE2, with the first two characters taken from the letters L and E in LEeds. On an old rotary dial telephone, this code would have been entered by dialling the numbers 5, 3, and 2.

| 1995 | Existing six-digit numbers lengthened to seven digits by prefixing with a '2'. For example, (0532) 224444 became (0113) 222 4444. |
