FEATURED STORIES
Leeds has a thousand stories to tell – and its people tell them best. Across two books, distributed free throughout the city, we brought together voices from across Leeds to explore the people, places and events that have shaped our history. These Featured Stories expand on those original accounts, giving our storytellers more room to share the experiences that make Leeds what it is.

OUR PARTNERS
Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund
The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage. Using money raised by National Lottery players we support projects that connect people and communities to heritage. Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future. From historic buildings, our industrial legacy and the natural environment, to collections, traditions, stories and more. Heritage can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past.
