Time Travel through the Place Names of Leeds
Join Professor Joyce Hill for her pre-recorded, illustrated online talk, which offers a sideways look at the history of the city. In this talk, Joyce will draw upon her linguistic expertise to uncover the deep history of Leeds by showing us what lies behind the names we are so familiar with – the name of Leeds itself, the major streets of the city centre, and some of the surrounding areas, separate from the tiny village of Leeds at the time of the Norman Conquest, but very much part of the city today.
This novel approach to our city’s history is only available for the duration of the Heritage open Days festival for those who have registered, so don’t delay in booking your ticket!
