@WLDispatch RIP. I only met Michael a handful of times but he was never less than generous with his time and encyclopedic knowledge on a range of topics from politics to jazz, and passionate about Leeds past and present.

A rare post from me. We're chuffed to welcome award winning Leeds-born TV writer Lisa Holdsworth to Abbey House Museum Gatehouse for an evening talk/q&a. Watched ANY prime time TV in the last 20+ yrs & there's a high chance you've seen her work ! 🍾📺✍️🏆

Parts of Pontefract are like stepping back into Georgian or Regency Britain. You almost expect a coach to pull up outside and the passengers go into an inn for dinner. The Grade II listed Red Lion was remodelled in 1776 by Robert Adam for Sir Rowland Winn of Nostell Priory..

@JackieDepelle @LeedsMuseums Thanks for coming to this Jackie. I took 8 chairs across the road a year ago, thinking they weren't needed. Seems I need to bring them back... thanks for putting up with benches, we shall provide more in future !

A day off today and a fairly impromptu trip to the breathtaking @Wentworth_House with my @Historic_Houses pass. A fantastic history, stunning interiors and inspiring displays. Staff friendly, informative and enthusiastic. Sadly no time to peruse the gardens but I'll be back!
