He was bald, with white hair on both sides of his head and stubble on his face. He was also wearing a beige jacket, beige trousers, a green and black checked shirt and a blue diamond pattern jumper.
The man also had an A-Z map book on him dated from 30 years ago. The head of Leeds CID, Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, said: "We believe the artist’s impression is a good likeness of the man and, alongside his clothing and personal items, we are hoping someone will recognise him.
"We are keen to identify him to support to the Coronial process and to trace any next of kin there may be."
