  • A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre
    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

  • Abbeylands Team Ministry a Brochure for the Post of Mission Priest
    1 Abbeylands Team Ministry A Brochure for the Post of Mission Priest Contact details: Rev Nigel Sinclair, Team Rector The Parish Office St. Margaret’s Church Hall Park Avenue Horsforth Leeds LS18 5LY 0113 258 1719 or 0113 2582481 [email protected] The Abbeylands Team Abbeylands Team comprises three parishes, stretching along the Aire Valley two to six miles North West from the centre of Leeds. The Team’s name references Kirkstall Abbey, one of the most complete examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in Britain, set in parkland along the banks of the River Aire and in the parish of St Stephen’s. Abbeylands is a vibrant area of Leeds, home to young professionals, students, families, older and retired people, with a relatively small BME population, mainly of East European, Asian or Afro- Caribbean origin. The area has good communication links via road, rail and air, and there are good primary and secondary schools. Whilst forming part of suburban Leeds, the area has many woods, open green spaces and parkland. Work has recently begun on a number of new housing developments along the banks of the River Aire, most particularly at ‘Kirkstall Forge’ with a new railway station and office developments. The Team Ministry was established in November 2011 with a Team Rector (living in Horsforth) and a Team Vicar (living in Hawksworth Wood) covering three parishes and four churches. The present Team Rector was appointed in May 2013 and the Team Vicar joined us soon afterwards, moving to his present role in January 2018 The new post of ‘Mission Priest’ is intended to develop outreach, particularly to the new communities along the banks of the River Aire.

The richly decorated interior is equally spectacular, with statues by Matthew Noble sitting by Martyn M aka Martyx beneath ornate plaster ceilings.

  • Haley's Hotel and Bedford House – a Historical Snapshot
    Haley’s Hotel and Bedford House – a historical snapshot Haley’s Hotel began life as a pair of handsome semi-detached villas, called ‘Ballamona’ (on the right as you face the front) and ‘Ravenstone’ (on the left). They were built in 1887, in grand neo-Tudor style with turrets and half-timbering and a central door to the frontage, giving the effect of one imposing house. They were designed as gentlemen’s residences by the distinguished Leeds architect George Corson, who was involved in developing the newly created Shire Oak Road in the 1880s. George Corson was Leeds’ premier architect, responsible for the Central Library building (‘the municipal palace’ as it was called), with its spectacular Tiled Hall, the magnificent Grand Theatre, and numerous distinguished houses, offices, and commercial buildings around Leeds. These houses remained in his ownership until the early 1900s, and were home to a series of high-status tenants, mostly wealthy Leeds businessmen, and for a time George Corson lived there himself. They continued as separate residences until the 1950s when the two houses were combined into one and converted into a hotel, initially known as the Hartrigg Hotel. In 1990 the name was changed to Haley’s. Next door, under the same management, is the Bedford House Guest House, another distinguished house, Grade II listed. Bedford.House is one of a pair of semi-detached houses, again designed to look like one large house, built in 1893 in elegant Queen Anne style by the architect Francis Bedford (of the highly-regarded partnership of Bedford and Kitson).

  • Leeds Museums and Galleries Primary School Membership Scheme 2021-22
    Leeds Museums and Galleries Primary School Membership Scheme 2021-22 We know cross-curricular object based arts and cultural learning raises attainment in primary pupils. • Participation in structured arts and cultural activities can increase cognitive abilities by 17%, meaning they become better at learning to learn 1 • Learning through arts and culture improves attainment in Maths and English2 • Students from low-income families who take part in arts and cultural activities at school are three times more likely to get a degree3 Leeds Museums and Galleries (LMG) are committed to giving as many children as possible access to object learning whether that’s in the classroom or on visits to museums and galleries. We also recognise that teachers’ time is precious, and we want to make systems streamlined as possible. Primary School Membership Our Primary School Membership scheme gives you access to object loans for your classroom, workshops across our 9 museums, support with resourcing and curriculum planning, and CPD packages. Our primary school membership scheme includes all you need to increase access to object based and cultural capital rich learning. There are three membership packages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. These have been developed in consultation with primary teachers in the city, piloted in Leeds schools, and are based on the services we know people use, or would like to, across Leeds Museums and Galleries and the city. Leeds Museums and Galleries hold 1.3 million objects in trust. We say all objects can be handled given proper risk assessment of people, place and object. This is highly unusual in museums, as most services have separate, unaccessioned object handling collection for schools use.

  • River Response to Recent Environmental Change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, Northern England
    River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. Sean Anthony Longfield, B.Sc. (H ons) 'N/ Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Geography July 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the w'ork of others II A b s t r a c t Longfield, S.A. 1998. River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. University of Leeds, Ph.D. This study examines historical variations in flood frequency and magnitude in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England, over the last 900 years. The causes of temporal and spatial variations in flooding are evaluated through investigation of climatic and land-use controls. Documentary evidence of flooding and climate suggests that a series of large floods between 1263 and 1360 were associated with climatic deterioration from the Medieval Optimum. A shift to generally milder conditions between 1361 and 1549 resulted in no floods being documented in the Ouse basin The frequency of large magnitude floods increased dramatically between 1550 and 1680, as a result of low temperatures, increased surface wetness, more frequent snowfall and a southward shift of prevailing storm tracks over middle latitudes, associated with the onset of the "Little Ice Age’. In contrast, during a wanner phase of the Little Ice Age, between 1681 and 1763, the frequency of localised summer flooding increased in the Ouse basin due to more frequent high intensity, short duration convective storms.
