  • 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.

    "Best Historic Locations in Leeds" Created By: Cityseeker 10 Locations Bookmarked Town Hall "An Architectural Delight" A stunning hybrid of classical Greek and baroque styles, this mid 19th- century public building is perhaps Leeds' most well-known landmark. Built by Charles Broderick between 1853 and 1858, it features a facade of giant columns supporting an elaborate domed tower. 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).

At school he was taught by Brian Manners who had also studied with Linstead in the Department of Music just after the Second World War. Both were also private pupils of George Linstead.

In 1973, he moved to Cardiff as Lecturer in Music at the Welsh College of Music and Drama (now the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama).

    Summer Newsletter – August 2016 Welcome to the Sheffield Bach Society summer newsletter. The newsletter contains information for singing members and our friends, life-friends and patrons all of whom receive a copy either by email or by post. We start with the forthcoming 67th season and an insight into the works to be performed, written by our conductor Dr Simon Lindley . Saturday 1 October 2016 Bach MASS IN B MINOR Sheffield Cathedral The anthologising of major works towards the end of his long life occupied Bach in very considerable activity. It is most likely that the glorious Mass in B minor – for many the greatest work of all – was not fully completed until the mid 1740s. The Missa – that is to say the movements comprising the complete settings of Kyrie eleison and Gloria in excelsis Deo – was devised, composed and assembled in 1733. Following the death of Augustus II, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, and the subsequent period of five months of mourning during which no music-making was permitted, Bach set to with a will and produced his Missa which was duly presented in homage to his successor, Augustus III, together with a plea to be granted a musical position at the court of the new Catholic monarch. The petition took a year or two to come to fruition and Bach achieved in1736 his wish to be appointed Composer to the Royal Court. It is certain that its creator never heard the piece in full. Indeed, the only performance of the Credo on record is one by C P E Bach, the composer’s eldest son, in 1786.
