The People’s History of Leeds tells the story of the city through the voices of its citizens. Everyone has a story to tell and the older we get, the more stories we have. Leeds is full of inspiring and brilliant people and we want to celebrate their lives and their narratives. Over the years, Leeds has welcomed people from everywhere. The stories we tell reflect this. We want to discover what is unique about this Northern city, and why people are proud to call Leeds their home. The People’s History of Leeds is a Leeds Older People’s Forum project, funded by Heritage Lottery.
