Library Leeds 400 exhibition

30 Jun 2026

The exhibition will open this September and will feature a selection of heritage treasures from the library’s special collections as well as a series of compelling images of Leeds captured by artists and photographers over the centuries and chosen from the library’s vast Leodis archive. They include striking scenes from the past such as an image from 1970 entitled simply “Butch and Mates”, which shows a group of unknown children playing out in front of rows of terraced houses located in Servia Hill.
