About This Event
What lies behind the names we are so familiar with – the name of Leeds itself, our river, the major streets of the city centre, and some of the surrounding areas, once separate from Leeds, but now very much part of the city? It’s a detective story that, as we unravel it, tells us a lot about our city’s deep history.
The cafe will be serving refreshments during this event.
This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
