Mapping project with East Leeds FM, 2013

During February half term of 2013, we worked with members of ELFM to create new maps of the city. For three days, we walked the streets, found places where we could look over the city, including the OWL (Observation Wheel Leeds) and the Skybar, and explored ways of recording our journeys and thoughts.

We were based at Carriageworks, which makes an excellent central base for exploring Leeds.

We didn’t have to move far to visit the City Museum, Leeds Central Library and the Leeds Tapestry 2000, the Markets for example, as well as walking along the riverside to the Canal basin to talk to people who live on narrow boats.
